First introduced in 1956 alongside the legendary Eames Lounge Chair, the Eames Lounge Ottoman represents a defining moment in modern furniture design. Created by Charles and Ray Eames, this companion piece shares the same meticulous attention to comfort, proportion, and material integrity that made its counterpart one of the most celebrated furniture designs of the 20th century. This edition features the distinctive elephant base—a broader, more grounded alternative to the standard chrome base that emphasizes sculptural presence and stability. Paired with classic walnut veneer and black Italian leather, this ottoman offers both timeless mid-century character and contemporary distinction. Sold separately, it’s ideal for pairing with an existing Eames Lounge Chair or enhancing any seating arrangement.
Dimensions
Ottoman: 63 cm (W) × 42 cm (H) × 56 cm (D)
Design & Comfort
The Eames Lounge Ottoman is engineered for relaxation. Its gently contoured plywood shell cradles the upholstered cushion, hand-sewn with welted piping and filled with high-density fire-retardant foam to provide firm yet inviting support. The seven-layer laminated walnut veneer shell is precision-molded to resist cracking and warping, ensuring longevity through decades of use.
Shock-mounted construction allows the cushion to respond subtly to weight and movement, creating a floating effect that enhances the reclining experience. The ottoman’s proportions are carefully calibrated to pair seamlessly with the Eames Lounge Chair, offering an elevated footrest that completes the signature posture of mid-century leisure. The walnut veneer provides classic warmth with natural grain variation, while the black leather upholstery offers timeless sophistication.
Elephant Base Design
The elephant base represents a distinctive alternative to the standard four-star chrome base. With its broader, more sculptural stance, it creates a grounded, substantial presence that emphasizes stability and visual weight. This design choice alters the ottoman’s relationship with the floor—more anchored, more deliberate—while maintaining the essential proportions and comfort that define the Eames aesthetic. The elephant base adds character and distinction to any interior.
Walnut & Black Leather
Walnut veneer is the most traditional choice for the Eames Ottoman, offering rich, medium-brown tones with natural grain that brings classic mid-century warmth. Paired with black Italian aniline leather, the combination creates a sophisticated, versatile presence that suits both residential and professional interiors. The walnut’s natural character develops subtle depth over time with exposure to light.
Models & Variations
The Eames Ottoman is available in three wood finishes to coordinate with the lounge chair collection:
- Walnut Wood – Classic mid-century warmth with natural grain
- Rosewood – Darker veneer with pronounced figure and reddish undertones
