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. Conceived as a modern interpretation of the traditional English club chair, it was meant to have “the warm, receptive look of a well-used first baseman’s mitt.” This classic walnut edition with tan brown leather represents the most traditional expression of the design—a combination that has defined mid-century modern interiors for nearly seven decades. From luxury residences to corporate boardrooms to countless film and television productions, the Eames Lounge Chair remains an enduring symbol of comfort and refined design. This replica honors that legacy with careful attention to materials, proportions, and construction.

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 tan brown Italian aniline leather. The walnut veneer provides classic mid-century warmth with natural grain variation, while the tan brown leather offers a timeless finish that develops character and patina over time. 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.
Classic Walnut & Tan Brown
This combination represents the most traditional and widely recognized expression of the Eames Lounge Chair. Walnut’s medium-brown tones with natural grain patterns pair harmoniously with tan brown leather, creating a warm, inviting presence that suits both residential and professional interiors. This is the configuration that has appeared in museums, homes, and design publications for decades—a pairing that exemplifies mid-century modern design principles.
