The Eames Lounge Chair, introduced in 1956 by Charles and Ray Eames, remains one of the most influential seating designs of the modern era. Born from the designers’ experimentation with molded plywood and innovative materials in the late 1940s, this chair was conceived as a refined blend of comfort, craftsmanship, and sculptural form. This light rosewood edition with black leather offers the chair without the ottoman—ideal for those seeking the iconic form in a more compact configuration or as part of an existing seating arrangement. The lighter rosewood veneer provides a softer, more golden tone than traditional rosewood, creating a sophisticated contrast against the black leather upholstery.

Design & Comfort
The Eames Lounge Chair’s comfort is rooted in its engineering. The seat, backrest, and armrests are formed from seven-layer laminated light rosewood veneer, carefully shaped and heat-pressed to achieve the chair’s organic curves. These plywood shells connect via rubber shock mounts—a system that allows subtle movement and flex, creating what the Eameses called a “resilient” seating experience. The result is a chair that responds to the body, encouraging relaxation without rigidity.
Each cushion is hand-sewn with welted piping and filled with high-density fire-retardant foam, then upholstered in premium Italian aniline leather in black. The light rosewood veneer brings warmth with its golden-toned grain patterns and lighter figure, creating a striking contrast against the black leather. The five-star aluminum base provides stability and 360-degree swivel functionality, allowing effortless repositioning.
Light Rosewood Finish
Light rosewood veneer offers a distinctive alternative to traditional dark rosewood or walnut. Its lighter, golden-brown tones with subtle grain variation create a sophisticated aesthetic that feels both contemporary and rooted in mid-century heritage. Paired with black leather, the combination emphasizes the chair’s sculptural form while maintaining visual warmth.
