В эти дни председательствует Эймс. Распознаваемые формы и широкий спектр цветовых вариантов сделали их желанными и любимыми до такой степени, что они стали украшением.

История кафедра Эймса началась в далеком 1948 году, когда дизайнер Чарльз Имс и его жена Рэй Имс создали стул для проведения Международного конкурса по недорогому дизайну мебели. Хотя он не выиграл первый приз, Eameses воспроизвел дизайн в недорогом стекловолокне, добавив в свой ассортимент все больше и больше вариантов цвета.

Стул из формованного кресла сначала шел с металлическими ножками, деревянными дюбелями и рокерской основой. Оттуда, однако, Чарльз и Рэй Имс собрали свою коллекцию, экспериментируя с фанерным формованием, используя их «Kazam! Машина ", которая управлялась с помощью велосипедного насоса.

Первый прототип был изготовлен из стали, который позже был заменен более дешевой пластиковой смолой, армированной стекловолокном под названием Zenaloy. В 1980-х годах, хотя стекловолокно вызвало достаточные экологические проблемы, которые следует напомнить. И только в 2000 году перерабатываемая полипропиленовая продукция началась с перерабатываемого стекловолокна, появляющегося только в 2013 году.

Теперь формованные стулья Eames поставляются как из пластика, так и из стекловолокна. И некоторые даже доступны в лесу и с мягкой обивкой. Их цвета сильно различаются от светло-нейтрального оленя до невероятного ультрамарина голубого (выше).

Classic molded Eames chairs can complement any dining table because they are so simple and yet stylish. There is something special about them and it shows in an interior design of any style.

Also used in home offices and nurseries molded chairs allow for various styling options from colorful cushions to faux fur throws. And while many prefer to let the natural semi-glossy color to show through, some styling solutions only add to the look.

Rockers that can often be seen in nurseries also create an inviting atmosphere in the reading nooks. And although you probably don’t want to be moving while reading, it’s not a bad choice since the chair is small and doesn’t take up too much space. Also it can double as a lounge rocking chair.

Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman

The famous Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman came out in 1956. Inspired by the English club chair it offered a different look and a much more comfortable feel. Its television debut the same year propelled the chair to such heights it was added to the permanent collection of New York’s MoMA and the Art Institute of Chicago.

Although its recognizable bent plywood frame stayed the same throughout the years the new finishes give the potential buyers a lot more choice. The base and upholstery can be coordinated or contrasted. And the chair can of course be used without the matching ottoman.

Thanks to its modest and modern look Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman works for both mid-century modern and luxury interiors. The timeless design allows for various style combinations and juxtaposition. In a minimal interior it will look luxuriously while fitting right at home in a mid-century modern room. It will definitely bring a bit of modernity the traditional living room. And will greatly emphasize retro-futuristic style.

Wooden Lounge Chairs

Eames® Molded Plywood Lounge Chair (LCM)

Bent plywood is something Eameses experimented with a lot. As a result there are a few lounge chair designs that are perhaps less popular than the Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman but are nevertheless recognized. For instance, LCW or “Lounge Chair Wood” has been named the Best Design of the 20th Century by the Time magazine.

The molded plywood chairs with metal and wooden legs have wide backs and Eames signature rounded seats. A slight recline provides enough comfort to use them as lounge chairs.

Available in a variety of colors and finishes including an upholstered version, these are perfect for both dining rooms and home offices. And as opposed to their plastic and fiberglass counterparts wooden molded chairs bring a lot of warmth to the interior.

Eames Aluminum Group Collection

Eames® Aluminum Group Lounge Chair

Aluminum Group Collection started as a project for Eero Saarinen and Alexander Girard in 1958. At the time the designers needed a lightweight lounge chair that was easily portable and aluminum seemed like a good fit to Eameses.

Made of an aluminum frame the chair features a simple “sitting pocket” available in 12 colors. It also has a 360-degree swivel base and an optional ottoman designed in a similar style.

It’s not only modern-looking though. The manufacturing approach takes into account the environmental impact. So the chair is made of 61% recycled materials and is generally 88% recyclable.

Eames La Chaise

Vitra Edition La Chaise

Inspired by Gaston Lachaise’s Floating Figure sculpture La Chaise was designed for that 1948 design competition. Made of two bonded fiberglass shells it stands firmly on a chrome base complete with X-shaped oak feet. Its unusual shape flows, offering not only a number of different reclining positions but also an art object aesthetic.

La Chaise differs a lot from the rest of more practical designs but you can still recognize Eames style in it. The chair that stayed a concept for a long time went into manufacturing exactly 20 years ago when Vitra International decided to supply the existing demand.

На протяжении многих лет стулья Eames стали классикой. И нетрудно понять, почему. Простые формы и определенные линии привлекают внимание, не подавляя интерьер. И роскошь отделки и экологически сознательные технологии производства только добавляют очарование этих конструкций.
