Miller Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman -
Celebrating its 51th anniversary in 2007, the Eames lounge chair and
ottoman are considered among the most significant and collectible furniture
designs of the 20th century. The rich veneer and supple leather suggest
old-fashioned luxury translated into modern forms, setting an enduring
standard for comfort and elegance. In addition, the lounge chair and
ottoman are now available in a veneer called Santos Palisander that
captures the original's unique look.
The Original Look Classic aesthetic
- The lounge chair and ottoman are available in santos palisander,
a lustrous veneer that has the same characteristics as the original
color and grain. Environmentally sound. The wood is harvested exclusively
from sustainably managed forests.
Classic Comfort - Luxurious
feel. The chair has 6-inch-thick urethane foam cushions and rich leather
upholstery. A place to relax. The contours of the seat and high back
welcome the sitter, and a swivel mechanism is built in.
Quality and Craftsmanship -
Attention to detail. All pieces are hand assembled. Durable construction.
Shells are seven-ply cherry, natural cherry, walnut, or santos palisander
veneer; the base and back braces are die-cast aluminum. Practical features.
Cushions are individually upholstered and replaceable; back cushions
are interchangeable; shock mounts are resilient natural rubber.
Design Story - The Eames lounge
chair and ottoman is the culmination of Charles and Ray Eames' efforts
to create comfortable and handsome lounge seating by using production
techniques that combine technology and handcraftsmanship. Its heritage
goes back to the molded plywood chairs pioneered by the Eameses in the
1940s, and it's part of the permanent collection of New York's Museum
of Modern Art. Charles Eames said his goal for the chair was the "warm,
receptive look of a well-used first baseman's mitt." Every one is a
special refuge from the strains of modern living. The first lounge chair
and ottoman, produced in 1956, was a birthday gift for friend Billy
Wilder, the Academy Award-winning film director, and it made its public
debut on Arlene Francis' Home show, which later became the Today show.
Every lounge chair and ottoman manufactured since then has received
the same meticulous handcrafted attention.
