Eames furniture was created by Charles and Ray Eames. The design of Eames furniture is one of the most influential in the world of modern furniture.

The groundbreaking idea behind Eames furniture is quite simple – if you can mold layers of wood in more than one direction simultaneously, then you can build a comfortable chair out of plywood.

The Eames furniture idea gave birth to some of the most elegant and functional Eames chairs. One of the best things about Eames furniture however, is that the furniture pieces are inexpensive to manufacture. Thus, Eames furniture offers the best of both worlds by providing both aesthetics and cost efficiency in their designs.

Aside from the classic molded plywood, present day Eames furniture branched out to use fiberglass and other modern materials for their furniture pieces. The Eames furniture family also began to include Eames lounger, Eames office chairs, and even Eames office tables.

It is noteworthy to point out however, that many of the original Eames chair and Eames table designs had never gone out of production in 50 years. The continued popularity of Eames furniture is attributed not just to the comfort and functionality that comes with it but to the affordability of the furniture pieces.

You will probably not find a furniture collector who does not immediately get a mental picture upon hearing the name Eames. In fact, Eames chairs are so world-renowned that the designs are being replicated in Vitra miniature versions.

The Vitra miniature collection is created especially for furniture collectors who love to buy designer furniture pieces but may not have enough room for the masterpieces in their home.

For Eames furniture collection to be included in the roster of the great furniture designers featured by Vitra miniature is testament to the value of simple and low-cost cost furniture combined with aesthetics and pureness of form.
