The shell chairs by Charles and Ray Eames are among the most important furniture designs in the history of design. The first serially produced plastic chairs in the history of furniture are a revolutionary design, with which Charles and Ray Eames founded the still widely used furniture type of the multifunctional chair, whose shell can be combined with various bases.
As early as 1950, they presented a series of bases for different seating positions, including the low 'LAR'. It seems to have been one of Charles' and Ray's favorite designs: In historic pictures of their home, the 'LAR' can be seen again and again.
Whether as a striking stand-alone piece or a contrasting addition to a sofa, the chair always works thanks to its organic shape. In this version, the seat shell comes in fiberglass, which has a typical and appreciated vibrant look. The irregular surface almost looks like a natural material thanks to the clearly visible fibers. This is also the reason why there is no upholstery for this chair.
Bring this iconic classic home. You and generations after you will have a great time with it!
