Early 2001 Vitra Eames La Chaise – Labeled, Sculptural Bone-White Patina

On request

Item Description

This sculptural showstopper is more than a chair—it’s a piece of design history that offers endless lounging possibilities. Presenting a Vitra-produced Eames La Chaise in wonderful vintage condition. Originally designed by Charles and Ray Eames for MoMA’s 1948 competition, it remained a visionary concept until Vitra finally brought it to life in 1991. This particular example dates from October 2001—a noteworthy transitional period when Vitra shifted production materials. It features the original labels, guaranteeing authenticity. The white shell has developed a subtle, nuanced patina: multiple shades of white reminiscent of natural bone, giving it an organic depth that a pristine new piece simply cannot replicate. The iconic silhouette floats on polished chrome steel rods anchored to a solid cruciform oak base . Whether used as a striking solo sculpture or an invitation to relax, it makes a statement in any interior. An authenticated, vintage Eames La Chaise is a collector’s trophy—a rare opportunity to acquire an icon with provenance and the unmistakable character that only age can bestow.
