Vitra Eames Ottoman Designed by Charles & Ray Eames

The Eames Ottoman, designed by Charles and Ray Eames for Vitra, is the natural companion to the iconic Eames Lounge Chair. Presented in 1956 together with the armchair, it shares the same design approach and plays a key role in defining the concept of modern domestic comfort.

Conceived as an extension of the Lounge Chair, the ottoman enhances the seating experience through carefully balanced proportions and meticulously selected materials. Its star-shaped aluminum base supports a molded wooden frame, topped by a leather-upholstered cushion. This combination, inspired by the tradition of English club chairs and reinterpreted by the Eames, introduced a new idea of furnishing: welcoming, functional, and contemporary.

Over time, the Ottoman has become more than an accessory: it is the essential counterpart to the Lounge Chair, completing its formal balance and ensuring unparalleled comfort. The choice of fine materials and attention to detail give each piece an authentic identity, able to endure across generations. Today, the Eames Ottoman continues to reflect its designers’ vision and embodies the cultural strength of Vitra’s design.
