La Chaise

Shown here is an image of La Chaise by Charles and Ray Eames. This chair is structured with a contrasting combination of organic and geometric, yet the subtle use of repetition and degrees of flow that correspond to the human form give the idea of a corresponding relationship.

The form's intention was to allow the user to sit comfortably for long periods of time. The organic shape that is created gives a sense of human body conformity, sinking in the center. The gaping center looks as though it's purpose is to prevent a vacuum affect when standing up from this chair, but also gives a nice focal point. La Chaise gives of the essence of  a piece that belongs in a fine art gallery, yet the entire form took into consideration the complete comfortability and function of the user.

With technological advancement came more freedom to produce the elegant forms with varying materials. This allowed new approaches to comfortability and how we interact with furniture. With the La Chaise Lounge, soft plush materials are absent that would give the impression of absolute comfort from the point of view of a potential user, yet you get the impression that comfortability can be achieved with form. The contours of this chair to adhere to the contours of the human body give the impression that  upmost utilization while minding to comfort without the use of soft or plush materials, can be achieved with the right lines and engineering.
