Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman Original

The Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman is one of the most celebrated furniture designs of the 20th century, created by Charles and Ray Eames in 1956 and continuously produced by Herman Miller in the original specification since that year. The molded plywood shells in walnut, cherry, or santos palisander veneer achieve the flowing, organic form that the Eames furniture studio pioneered through its experimentation with bent and molded plywood technology developed during WWII. The three separate shell sections — back, seat, and ottoman — are connected by die-cast aluminum hardware in a configuration that allows each shell to flex slightly independently, adapting to the sitter’s posture. The leather cushions are filled with down feathers for a soft, responsive comfort that the chair has been celebrated for across nearly seven decades of production. The five-star cast aluminum base with polished finish is visually unchanged from the 1956 original. Herman Miller’s authentic version includes a provenance card confirming original manufacture. A genuine investment-grade design classic.
