The architects and designers Charles and Ray Eames designed La Chaise in 1948 for a competition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, inspired by "FigureFloating", a sculpture by Gaston Lachaise.
La Chaise is a real "sitting sculpture" of great elegance and sinuosity, which allows numerous sitting positions depending on the different angles and inclinations of the posture. Its structure, of organic inspiration, creates sinuous lines and curves that determine a space of movement through which the viewer loses his gaze, imagining to move through the chair. The chair has long been established as a "classic icon" of organic and modern design.
The name of the item is used to describe the product as an inspiration and it can not be considered as an original piece.
