The Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman, correctly titled Eames Lounge and Ottoman were released in 1956 after years of development by designers Charles and Ray Eames. They are now part of the permanent collection of New York’s Museum of Modern Art. The chair first appeared on the Arlene Francis ‘Home’ show broadcast on the NBC television network in the USA in 1956. Since then it has made many appearances on television and film and has found celebrity status amongst modern furniture design.
Few would argue that this chair could be the most easily recognisable and desirable furniture classic design of all time!! It appeals to people for several reasons. It is a classic design that has been in production ever since its creation. In addition to its style, it is also very comfortable a combination not always found in high design. Additionally, some people find it desirable purely for reasons of value with originals of the chair fetching well over £3500. Our quality reproduction of this classic is sympathetic to the detail and comfort of the original but at a fraction of the cost!
The chair is made from a series of moulded plywood veneer layers, thick soft cushioning covered in full Italian leather. The solid metal base is black with stainless tops and sides as per the original. The chair does not tilt as it is a one position relaxer chair.
This represents a fantastic opportunity of owning what could be described as furniture’s most endearing design ever.
