Iconic comfort for public spaces, revolutionise your Waiting areas with Charles and Ray Eames’ Timeless Design
The Eames Tandem Sling Seating, designed by the legendary Charles and Ray Eames in 1962, is a landmark innovation in public seating. Originally developed for Chicago O’Hare and Washington Dulles airports, this design prioritised durability, comfort, and functionality for high-traffic areas. Decades later, it remains the gold standard for public seating in airports, train stations, and other communal spaces worldwide. With its sleek aesthetic and modular flexibility, the Eames Tandem Sling Seating is a testament to timeless design and engineering excellence.
Charles and Ray Eames approached the creation of the Tandem Sling Seating with a focus on “fitness to need” rather than aesthetics alone. The result is a seating system that combines nylon-covered sling seats suspended on a polished aluminium frame with an iron T-beam base for exceptional strength.
The identical seat and back panels are interchangeable, making maintenance simple and cost-effective. This pragmatic yet elegant design has earned its place as an icon of modern public furniture, delivering both visual appeal and enduring functionality.
The Eames Tandem Sling Seating offers a range of features tailored to meet the demands of public spaces:
