The Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman, designed by Charles and Ray Eames in 1956, is widely regarded as one of the most important furniture designs of the 20th century. This classic walnut edition with dark brown leather represents a timeless interpretation of the design—a combination that emphasizes warmth, depth, and mid-century sophistication. The walnut veneer provides natural grain beauty with rich tones, while the dark brown Italian leather offers a deeper, more luxurious alternative to standard tan finishes. Nearly seven decades after its debut, this version continues to grace living rooms, executive offices, and media productions worldwide, embodying the enduring appeal of thoughtful design and premium materials.

Design & Comfort
The Eames Lounge Chair achieves its distinctive comfort through both form and engineering. The seat, backrest, and armrests are formed from seven-layer laminated walnut veneer, molded under heat and pressure to create the chair’s sculptural, flowing curves. These plywood shells connect via rubber and metal shock mounts—an innovative system that allows subtle flex and movement, creating what the Eameses described as a “resilient” sitting experience that responds to the body’s natural movements.
Each of the three cushions is hand-sewn with welted piping and filled with high-density fire-retardant foam, then upholstered in premium dark brown Italian aniline leather. The walnut veneer provides classic mid-century warmth with natural grain variation, while the dark brown leather offers richness and depth that deepens beautifully with age. The five-star chrome aluminum base provides stability and 360-degree swivel functionality, while the ottoman’s four-star base complements the chair’s proportions perfectly.
Walnut & Dark Brown Leather
This combination represents a refined take on the traditional Eames aesthetic. Walnut’s medium-brown tones with natural grain patterns pair harmoniously with dark brown leather, creating a warm, cohesive presence with added depth and sophistication. The darker leather tone offers a more dramatic alternative to tan finishes while maintaining the chair’s approachable, inviting character. Both materials develop character over time, with the leather gaining patina and luster through use.
