Eames® Lounge Chair

Designed by Charles and Ray Eames
Celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2006, the Eames Lounge Chair is 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.

As popular as it’s become, the Eames Lounge Chair remains grounded in the details that continue to distinguish it. In addition, the chair is now available in Santos Palisander veneer that captures the original's unique look.

The Design:

• The Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman is the culmination of Charles and Ray Eames' efforts to create comfortable and handsome lounge seating by using production techniques that combine technology and handcraftsmanship. Its heritage goes back to the molded plywood chairs pioneered by the Eameses in the 1940s, and it's part of the permanent collection of New York's Museum of Modern Art.
  
  
• Charles Eames said his goal for the chair was the "warm, receptive look of a well-used first baseman's mitt." Every one is a special refuge from the strains of modern living.
  
  
• The first lounge chair and ottoman, produced in 1956, made its public debut on Arlene Francis' Home show, which later became the Today show.
