Stylish, comfortable, and iconic.
The Eames Lounge Chair and its footstool, whose exact designations are respectively the Eames Lounge (670) and Ottoman (671), were first marketed in 1956. This chair is the first object designed by the couple for large-scale commercialization.
The Eameses designed it with the goal of giving it "the warm, receptive look of a well-used first baseman's mitt."
Originally manufactured with a molded, polished rosewood plywood shell, upholstered with thick feather-filled leather cushions, and mounted on a chrome base, this chair suggests a modern American interpretation of the traditional European club chair.
The Lounge Chair by Charles & Ray Eames is a design bestseller with more than 6 million units sold.
This design icon is, in fact, part of the permanent collection at the MoMA in New York.
There are two official editions: one American by Herman Miller, and the other European by Vitra.
The two editions are distinguished by differences in finish.
Today, the Lounge Chair is still produced by Vitra and Herman Miller.
However, changes have been made regarding the materials used as well as the dimensions.
