Eames Lounge Chair

The Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman are considered among the most significant and collectible furniture designs of the 20th century. The rich veneer and supple leather suggest old-fashioned luxury translated into modern forms, setting an enduring standard for comfort and elegance.

• The Original Look. Classic Aesthetic.The Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman are now available in Santos Palisander, a lustrous veneer that has the same characteristics as the original color and grain. The look of the chair, according to designer Charles Eames, was meant to resemble the warmth, familiarity, and comfort of a well used baseball mitt. The warms colors and mixture of leather and curved surfaces achieves that goal with startling precision. The aesthetic of the chair therefore reflects several ideas, feelings, and traditions; comfort, childhood, nature, modernity, commonality. All these combine to create a chair that meets physical, spiritual, and mental needs. Eames always said he wanted his chair to be a refuge from the strains and pressures of the modern world. He succeeded in every way with the Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman.
• Environmentally Sound.The wood is harvested exclusively from sustainably managed forests. Additionally, much of the chair was constructed using recycled materials, and about a third of the product is itself recyclable. However, it's unlikely you'll ever recycle the chair; it's a ready-made heirloom, designed to be passed on and on and on for as long as possible, just like that well worn baseball mitt.
• Classic Comfort. Luxurious Feel.The chair has thick urethane foam cushions and rich leather upholstery. The effect is luxury without pretension or ostentation, and deep comfort and relaxation without resorting to the overstuffed or bulky. The chair is classically built to serve a strong purpose well, and to go no further than elegance allows when it comes to bells and whistles.
• A Place to Relax.The contours of the seat and high back welcome the sitter, and a swivel mechanism is built in. This is a chair that fits practically anywhere in your home, from the living room to the office. It's sturdy and comfortable, made for all ages, and serves as a mini-retreat from a harried life.
• Quality and Craftsmanship. Attention to Detail.All pieces are hand assembled. Shells are seven-ply cherry, natural cherry, walnut veneer; the base and back braces are die-cast aluminum.
