The American designer couple Charles and Ray Eames created a collection of plastic chairs that is still going strong more than fifty years later. The famous Eames Plastic Armchair is one of the models that is specially designed for the needs of the dining room and impresses with a timeless design.
The seat shell has an organic shape, which, in combination with integrated armrests and a variety of seat cushions, ensures more comfort when sitting. The sophisticated base, which is made from either wood or chrome-plated wire, further contributes to the unusual design. Order the popular classic chair here.

This is how the Rocking Armchair Rod Base (RAR) rocking chair was created, which is perfect for relaxing at home. Order the design classic from Vitra here.
Another classic from the same collection is the Eames Plastic Side Chair, which is similar to the other models but does not have armrests.

In order to adapt to individual needs and preferences, the Plastic Side Chair is available in different colors and upholstery options. You can also choose a suitable base frame that fits your own interior. For example, the wooden base frame looks particularly homely and fits perfectly into the modern interior design. However, if the chair is intended for outdoor use, then a chrome-plated or powder-coated base frame is recommended.
Another classic chair is the Wire Chair. Designed in 1951 by designer couple Charles and Ray Eames, the chair is one of the most popular Vitra chairs, having been popular worldwide for more than fifty years. The Wire Chair has an organically shaped, one-piece seat shell that is specifically designed for greater comfort when sitting.

Some models were created even earlier, such as the Organic Chair by the designers Charles Eames and Eero Saarinen. Organic Chair and the armchair version – Organic Highback were designed in 1940 and have won many design awards since then. The seat shell of the chair and armchair is made of a plywood board and the legs are made of ash wood. As a difference to the design of the chair, the backrest of the armchair is made higher and has a neck support. Therefore, the Organic Highback armchair is considered a design classic in living room furnishings.
The Danish designer Verner Panton designed this impressive armchair and stool in 1958 specifically for a restaurant in Denmark. The design is reminiscent of a classic geometric figure – the cone, which is where the name of the chair comes from.
The elegant Cone Chair has become much more than a restaurant chair over the years. Its eye-catching design is designed with a comfortable seat cushion and backrest and suits different home styles. To complement this, the Cone Stool is designed, which can be used as a stool or as an ottoman.
American designer George Nelson designed this striking chair in 1955 and named it the Coconut Chair because of its resemblance to a cut coconut. However, the color scheme is reversed in the design: the outer side of the plastic seat shell is white and the upholstery is available in different colors. As part of the classic Vitra chairs, the Coconut Chair has a distinctive design and adds a special touch to any interior.
The swivel lounge chair is part of the furniture as a whole that has been setting trends in interior design for decades. The design dates back to 1956 and once again belongs to the famous designer couple Charles and Ray Eames. The iconic armchair is inspired by the old English club chair but features a contemporary design.
The model is designed with an accompanying ottoman that has a similar construction. The back and seat shells of these Vitra chairs are made of plywood and upholstered with comfortable leather cover. Several combination options for types of veneer wood, leather colors and base frames enable the classic chair to be individually designed.
The Aluminum Chair by Charles and Ray Eames is considered one of the most important seating designs of the 20th century. The construction of the chair consists of a seat shell, fabric panel for more comfort, two side parts and an aluminum base frame. The Aluminum Group collection consists of several models that are suitable for both home and public spaces.
The models from the Aluminum Group are high quality and offer a lot of comfort. They are offered in a variety of colors and with different upholstery, including leather and mesh. The collection consists of office chairs in different sizes.
In contrast to the smaller version, the large aluminum Vitra chair has a higher backrest and neck support. The chair is available in several colors and is offered with a swivel or fixed base.
Although most of the design classic chairs come from the last decade, some of today's designers have also left their mark on furniture design. An example of this is the Vitra office chair .04 Counter, which was designed by designer Maarten Van Severen in 2000. The design is perfect for both an office interior and a home office.
The designers Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec created an elegant armchair in 2006 that, with its ergonomic design, is perfect for relaxing in the living room. Although the armchair looks large and comfortable, the piece of furniture is very light and elegant. The Slow Chair is also designed with an accompanying ottoman, which is available in matching colors. The cover material used is somewhat transparent and offers an elegant alternative to the thick padding of ordinary armchairs.
The models have an elegant look that speaks of high quality and elegance. A modern armchair, which is considered one of the contemporary design classics among seating furniture, was designed by the Italian designer Antonio Citterio in 2011. The design of Repos looks particularly homely and is therefore suitable for rooms where comfort is of great importance.
The Repos armchair is complemented by the Panchina ottoman, which serves as the perfect complement. Both furniture are generously padded to ensure ultimate comfort. A special mechanism ensures greater comfort and offers great freedom of movement for maximum back support. Thanks to the large selection of colors and fabrics, Repos & Panchina armchairs and ottomans can be adapted to your own interior design.
English furniture designer Jasper Morrison has created a modern chair with a purified design that is considered one of the contemporary design classics. The HAL Ply Wood is one of the newest Vitra chairs, designed in 2012 and part of the extensive HAL Group collection. The collection offers chairs with shells made of plastic, plywood and with upholstery, which can be combined with various base frames.
