Charles Eames Eames /Saarinen Designed Organic Chair - Black

Product Description

Designed in 1940 by Charles Eames in collaboration with Eero Saarinen, the Organic chair was originally designed for the “ Organic Design in Home Furnishings” competition held by the Museum of Modern Arts, New York. Eames, known for his innovation in wood moulding techniques & use of fibreglass, in conjunction with Saarinen’s ability to adapt his style to diverse applications, resulted in the creation of the first of many chair designs to mould wood into complex curves & use cycle welding techniques to bond rubber & wood. Initially, due to complications associated with the cost of production & technology in association with its war time context, the Organic chair was considered unviable for manufacturing. However, by the 1950s mass production was feasible for the Eames & Saarinen’s Organic chair, which saw it used widely as a reading chair or an occasional lounge chair in residential, hospitality & commercial interior applications. The Organic Chair, designed to mimic the natural sitting position features a laminate seat shell, solid timber legs & upholstery.
