Designed in 1948 for MoMA’s International Competition for Low-Cost Furniture Design, and inspired by Gaston Lachaise’s 1927 sculpture Reclining Nude, this organically-shaped chair has become a design icon. Although it proved too expensive to manufacture at the time, La Chaise finally went into production in 1990 and has been produced in small quantities ever since. Engineered by Vitra of a fiberglass shell and natural oak base with metal supports.
