Ian Callum is a legendary name in the automobile world. The British designer is responsible for creating some of the greatest vehicles for the likes of Aston Martin, Jaguar, and Land Rover. Now Callum has lent his talents to designing a bespoke lounge chair with this take on the iconic Eames lounge chair. First developed by Charles and Ray Eames in 1956, this luxurious lounge chair sparked a shift in the design of living room seating and remains a classic piece of furniture. Callum and his crew at Callum Designs have given the Eames a modern look and incorporated a number of luxurious extras. Callum Designs Callum Designs Callum Designs Callum has certainly been influenced by his time in the auto industry, with the Eames sporting a bold look with deluxe finishing. The frame is made from carbon fiber and the seat covers have been outfitted with leather by Scottish company Bridge of Weir. “We did this for the love of design and a new challenge, a project to experiment and discover new things,” Callum told Robb Report via email. “I’ve longed to do something different, a project outside of automotive that would excite me. I’ve had a life-long love of furniture forms, so we decided to do a chair.” Unfortunately, these chairs are just prototypes at the moment, but Callum hopes there will be enough interest to commission production on the Eames lounge chair. callumdesigns.com
