Charles and Ray Eames designed the elegant lounge chair La Chaise for a competition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York in 1948. It was inspired by the 'Floating Figure' sculpture by Gaston Lachaise. The lounge chair has long since established itself as an icon of organic design.
The La Chaise lounge chair dates back to 1948, when it was developed for the ‘International Competition for Low-Cost Furniture Design’ organised by MoMA. The name is a playful reference to artist Gaston Lachaise, whose Floating Figure sculpture was a source of
inspiration for the Eameses.
