Design, comfortable and cult.
The Eames Lounge Chair and its footrest, whose exact names are respectively Eames Lounge (670) and Ottoman (671), were marketed in 1956. This armchair is the first object intended for large-scale marketing that the couple draw.
The Eameses designed it wanting to give it "the warm look and appeal of a worn first base baseball glove."
Originally made with a polished and molded rosewood plywood structure, filled with thick leather cushions stuffed with feathers, both pieces mounted on a chrome base, this armchair suggests a modern American interpretation of the traditional European Club armchair.
The Lounge Chair by Charles & Ray Eames is a design bestseller with more than 6 million copies sold.
This design icon is also part of the permanent collection of the MoMA in New York.
There are two official editions, one American from Herman Miller, and the other European from Vitra.
The two editions are differentiated by differences in editing.
Today, the Lounge Chair is still in production by Vitra and Hermann Miller but it is different from the original model: the rear seat cutout is perforated and the fixing elements of the back and armrests have changed.

Charles and Ray Eames are a couple of emblematic designers of the 20th century. Very ahead of their time, they contributed to the democratization of designer furniture for the general public, in particular thanks to the invention of new industrial manufacturing techniques allowing mass production.
We owe them many emblematic design pieces from the 1950s and 60s combining comfort and ergonomics: the famous Lounge Chair, the DCW chair (Dining Chair Wood) or the armchair RAR (Rocking Armchair Rodbase).

Herman Miller Inc. is an American office furniture and equipment company based in Zeeland, Michigan.
Created in 1905, the original company called Michigan Star Furniture was taken over in 1923 by one of its employees: DJ De Pree.
The company took the name of the man who helped him acquire it, Herman Miller, his father-in-law, a West Michigan businessman.
By the mid-20th century, the name Herman Miller became synonymous with "modern" furniture. Surrounding itself with designers such as George Nelson and Charles and Ray Eames, the company produced creations that became great classics of industrial design.
We also include the names of Alvar Aalto, Don Chadwick, Alexander Girard, Paul Lázsló, Isamu Noguchi, Robert Probst, Gilbert Rohde, Gloria Sachs, Don Shepard, Bill Stumpf etc… among the designers who worked for Herman Miller.
