100% Authentic Eames La Chaise. This chair retains the original Vitra markings from 1998. There are two small chips along the back edge of the chair as depicted in the pictures. This is super minimal and not visible from the front. It is truly a piece of art. If you know what this is, you know how rare they are. These chairs had much more chipping than this chair and were classified as excellent condition. Accordingly, I will at least call this excellent condition if not near mint vintage condition. I will work with any shipper of the buyers choice. Charles and Ray designed this lounge chair for The Museum of Modern Arts 1948 International Competition for Low-Cost Furniture Design. Its name references both its function as well as Gaston Lachaises. Sculpture, whose shape the Eameses thought would fit the chair perfectly. Comprised of two bonded fiberglass shells, a chromed base, and natural oak feet, the chair exhibits a captivating elegance and allows for a wide range of sitting and reclining positions. It wasnt until 1996 that the long-time Eames partner, Vitra International, began manufacturing and distributing the La Chaise in response to public interest and demand. Today, the chair serves as a long-established icon of organic design. It is available exclusively from Vitra.
