There are few designers with as much name as Ian Callum. The Briton is the father of some historical models such as the Ford Escort RS Cosworth, the Aston Martin Vanquish or the Jaguar XK. He recently also opened his own design company to have the freedom to create all kinds of “products that excite.” The last thing they have presented is the Callum Lounge Chaira very special limited edition chair that can only be in the most exclusive rooms for reasons that we give you below.
The first is that it is a model of which They will only make 50 units. Worldwide. The second is none other than its price, which is within the reach of few pockets starting at 8,500 pounds (plus local taxes), which would be equivalent to something less than 10,000 euros with the current change. And it is that exclusivity pays, as does the high quality that Callum has endowed with this chair. Inspired by the chair Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman from 1956, although with a modern reinterpretation that leaves no one indifferent.
Because Ian Callum and his team have parted ways carbon fiber structure with some parts exposed to give a lightened and revitalized design. A molded plywood shell covered with smoked eucalyptus veneer is added to give it the touch of sophistication and quality necessary in this type of furniture. The Callum Lounge Chair remains finished off with a leather upholstery tailor-made so that the user is as comfortable as possible when sitting on it at home or office.
In fact, the client can choose between ten options for that leather upholstery. The first has been finished with Bridge of Weir leather in the color ‘Delta Blue’, although they also say that for an extra outlay you could choose the tone you wanted, that the color palette is infinite. To make it, Callum has partnered with a prestigious UK furniture manufacturer and they will start producing it from January 2023. They confirm that they have already received several requests from clients who do not mind touching five figures with this designer chair.
