Vitra Eames Lounge Chair with Ottoman
As a fully upholstered seating object the armchair has only existed since the Middle Ages, and was once reserved for the nobility and the upper middle classes. Since the end of the 19th century however it has become ever more universal, its democratisation taking a decisive step in context of the economic upswing of the 1950s when the armchair then found its way into many private households. Upholstered armchairs are inarguably the most satisfying seating for relaxing after work or in which to read, watch TV or listen to music in your freetime. Amongst the classic armchair genres one finds the Wing chair and the English club chair; traditional forms taken up by contemporary objects such as the Vitra Grand Repos or the Fritz Hansen Fri chair. Designer armchairs such as the Slow Chair by Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec for Vitra provide innovative new interpretations of the traditional furniture genre: in place of elaborate upholstery, the designers have developed a cover made of particularly resilient, form-knitted textile and have given the furniture a completely new shape. Regardlss of its form the armchair has always been a particularly luxurious piece of furniture, one that often has a very specific manufacturing process and an equally unique durability, something evidenced by design classics such as the Vitra Lounge Chair or the famous Egg Chair by Arne Jacobsen.
