We’ve all admired the rational designs and organic forms from these time periods. Yet how can we decorate our own modern space with an accurate vintage twist?

The strong modernist movement of the 1920s rejected any decorative elements, streamlining interior space and construction. Yet a decade later, traditionalism jumped into center stage – bringing all its artistry and embellishment with it.

Classic Mid-century Eames Lounge Chairs

Introduced in 1956, the lounge chair with its coordinating ottoman continues to be one of the most recognizable of the Eames chair designs. Herman Miller, a furniture manufacturer, has manufactured this iconic chair since it was first put into production. The first loungers were made of molded plywood bases and finished leather with button tufting. It was described to have “soft, wrinkly leather and plush down feathers” akin to more traditional upholstered chair styles.

Charles Eames style Softpad Swivel Desk Office Chair

Widely considered two of the foremost designers of the twentieth century, Charles and Ray Eames worked collaboratively with the members of their studio, the Eames style softpad Swivel Desk Office Chair.  Their famous products and design approach have become symbolic of a Californian attitude. Vintage Charles and Ray Eames furniture chairs & design remain popular worldwide.

Retro Herman Miller Eames Style Low Back Softpad chair

One of their most recognizable designs is the Aluminum Group line from which this Soft Pad Management Chair was born. It is said that the Soft Pad derivative was a design accident – cushions from the Eames Chaise found themselves draped over an Aluminum Group chair, and the rest is history. Whatever the story may be, the comfort of Charles & Ray’s Soft Pad seating perhaps rivals that of their famed Eames Lounge Chair.

The Soft Pad collection consists of a Lounge Chair, a High Back Executive Chair, and this Low Back Management Chair. The design language is similar to the Eames Aluminum Group suite which sports a single “sling” of material which is tethered to two cast aluminum side rails and in this case, three plush cushions for optimal comfort. This chair is equipped with a tilt mechanism with tension control as well as manual height adjustment.

Eames DAW Armchair

The DAW dining chair is a high-quality reproduction of the legendary design which has influenced Scandi design for decades. This comfortable and stylish arm chair is the perfect addition to any dining room, bar/cafe, or makeup area.

Based on the original 1948 design, this was the first industrially manufactured plastic chair, made with a beech wooden base and black metal struts supporting a moulded shell seat. Whether your dining table is new or old, the iconic DAW design is a great way to compliment your dining area.

Vintage Eames Rocking Chair RAR

Vintage Eames RAR rocking chair, designed by Charles and Ray Eames in 1950 for Herman Miller. The Eames’s had first used fibreglass cloth and plastic resin material as screens in their Case Study House of 1949.

The Rocking Armchair Rod (RAR) was by no means the best-selling within the family of chairs and in its infancy the production of the rocking base was reserved for gifting to new mothers at Herman Miller. The design is however both iconic and symbolic of the flexibility of the groundbreaking range.

Eames Plastic Dining Chairs

The Eames Plastic Chairs are renewed versions of the legendary Fiberglass Chair. As the very first industrially produced plastic chair, it was originally developed by the Eames in collaboration with Zenith Plastics for the ‘Low-Cost Furniture Design’ competition organized by the Museum of Modern Art. In the current versions made of polypropylene, these chairs provide even greater comfort.
