Vitra 2025: the Eames Collection renewed with sustainable materials and new color palettes
Vitra opens a new chapter that bridges heritage and innovation, with a clear emphasis on sustainability and the enduring influence of design’s great masters. The latest collection reinterprets Charles & Ray Eames’ timeless pieces while introducing new contemporary icons, reinforcing the brand’s vision of shaping how we live today and tomorrow.
Charles and Ray Eames reshaped twentieth-century design by uniting art, technology, and function. Their work went far beyond furniture: chairs that carried the body with effortless grace, lounges that set new standards of comfort, and playful accessories that animated everyday spaces.
Their partnership gave rise to icons that continue to shape the work of designers around the world. From the sculptural form of the Shell Chairs to the playful spirit of the Hang It All, each piece embodies a vision that still feels modern. With Vitra, the Eames legacy is not just preserved but continually reimagined, opening new paths for design’s future.
"Charles and Ray Eames are our heroes: they are the figures who, more than anyone else, have given this company its defining form and ideas. These were people of incredible talent, very hard workers and visionaries. They not only made furniture, but were architects, filmmakers, photographers and educators, thinking not only about our society, but also the greater world around them."
Rolf Fehlbaum, Vitra Chairman Emeritus
The Eames Collection takes on a renewed focus on sustainability. European woods such as cherry, chestnut, and walnut join oak and ash, with surfaces finished in natural oils and water-based lacquers. The addition of recyclable V-Foam highlights Vitra’s commitment to creating pieces built to last—designed with both people and the planet in mind.
The Eames Accessories Collection has been refreshed with new materials and colors that capture Charles and Ray’s playful approach. European chestnut is now used for the Stools and LTR Tables, while the Hang It All is offered in a range of new palettes. The Eames Elephant in recycled plastic arrives in vibrant shades, bringing a unique contemporary personality to interiors.
Sea Foam Green and Sky Blue are now part of the LTR Table range, while the Hang It All comes in new color combinations across warmer and cooler tones. The Plywood Mobiles are newly available in Ice Grey, and the Eames Elephant is offered in an expanded variety of woods, finishes, and colors.
The legendary Lounge Chair & Ottoman opens up to almost infinite possibilities. With more than 2,500 combinations of woods, fabrics, and finishes, each piece becomes a one-of-a-kind creation. European shells, removable covers, and refined detailing breathe new life into a timeless icon—blending craftsmanship with personal expression.
The Aluminium and Soft Pad Groups now feature powder-coated frames in shades from deep Bordeaux to bright Chalk. For the first time, Vitra introduces a B2B restoration service, extending the life of these icons and balancing timeless aesthetics with technology and circular design.
First introduced in 2006, the Bouroullec brothers’ Slow Chair is recognized for its airy design and effortless comfort. This year it is joined by a new piece, the Slow Sofa: compact, with removable covers and fabrics such as bouclé Flocca, it blends softness with refined engineering to create an inviting space for relaxation.
The Anagram Sofa by Panter&Tourron also evolves, now featuring medium-soft cushions designed to enhance comfort without altering its clean silhouette. A flexible design introduced in 2024, it strengthens its role as a contemporary icon—ready to accompany everyday life with ease and relaxation.
Through these updates, Vitra underscores the lasting importance of design. From the iconic Eames pieces to the latest editions, every detail speaks to the brand’s commitment to craftsmanship, innovation, and sustainability.
