The Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman, introduced in 1956 by Charles and Ray Eames, remains one of the most influential furniture designs of the modern era. Conceived as a contemporary interpretation of the English club chair, it was built to offer “the warm, receptive look of a well-used first baseman’s mitt”—a piece that invites you to settle in and stay.
What distinguishes this design is its fusion of industrial innovation and artisanal craft. Molded plywood shells cradle sumptuous leather cushions, while shock-mounted connections between the seat, backrest, and armrests allow the chair to flex subtly with the body. The result is a reclining experience that feels both supportive and enveloping, engineered for extended comfort without sacrificing sculptural elegance.
Since its debut, the Eames Lounge Chair has become a fixture in executive offices, residential interiors, and cultural landmarks worldwide. Its silhouette is instantly recognizable—featured in film, television, and design museums as a symbol of mid-century modernism and enduring quality.
This faithful reproduction honors the original design while employing premium materials and time-honored upholstery techniques to deliver both authenticity and lasting value.
Dimensions
Lounge Chair: 85cm (W) × 82cm (H) × 85–91cm (D) | Seat Height: 38cm
Ottoman: 63cm (W) × 42cm (H) × 56cm (D)
Design & Comfort
The Eames Lounge Chair is engineered for relaxation. Its three molded plywood shells—seat, backrest, and headrest—are individually contoured and connected by rubber shock mounts, allowing the chair to respond naturally to movement and weight. This floating effect creates a reclined posture that feels effortless, while the angled backrest and generous headrest provide full-body support.
Each cushion is hand-sewn using premium Italian aniline leather, welted and piped to maintain structure and visual refinement. Dense, fire-retardant foam fills every cushion, offering firm support that softens with use while retaining its shape over time. The leather develops a rich patina with age, enhancing the chair’s character and warmth.
The accompanying ottoman extends the lounging experience, providing an elevated footrest with the same cushioned comfort and molded shell construction. Together, they create a complete seating system designed for reading, conversation, or quiet repose.
The seven-layer laminated veneer construction—a technique pioneered by the Eameses in the 1940s—ensures structural integrity and resists warping or cracking, even after decades of use. The walnut finish brings out the natural grain and depth of the wood, while the polished aluminum base adds a refined industrial contrast.
Available Finishes
The Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman are offered in three classic wood veneers:
- Walnut – Warm, medium-brown tones with natural grain variation
- Rosewood – Deep, luxurious hues with striking figuring
- Teak – Golden honey tones with excellent durability
Each model features a five-star polished aluminum base (chair) and four-star base (ottoman), both with smooth swivel function.
