Organic Chair is designed by Charles Eames & Eero Saarinen for Vitra in 1940 with seat shell in laminated, upholstered with polyurethane foam with fabric cover.
Legs in black ash or natural oak, fitted with plastic glides for carpet, and felt glides for hard floors additionally included.
The Organic Chair is also available in a version with an extended backrest and longer, wider armrests – the Organic Highback armchair, and in the Organic Conference version which can be combined with a wide variety of conference and meeting tables.
The Organic Chair – a small and comfortable reading chair – was developed in several versions for the 1940 ‘Organic Design in Home Furnishings’ competition organised by the Museum of Modern Art in New York. With its sculptural shapes, the design was ahead of the times. But due to the absence of suitable manufacturing techniques, the armchair never went into production. Not until 1950 did it become possible to manufacture and market organically shaped seat shells in large quantities, as exemplified by Charles and Ray Eames‘s famous Plastic Armchair or Saarinen‘s Tulip Chair.
