*If you would prefer black leather we can do that too*

This is a collector's item, an 1956's Eames Lounge Chair with the rare three screws under the arms and boot glides on the ottoman, round silver cushions clips, new down feather cushions. This chair was designed to be a refuge from the strains of modern living. Treat yourself and enjoy one of the most iconic chairs of the modern era.

According to Charles Eames, this chair was designed to emit the “warm receptive look of a well-used first baseman’s mitt. The iconic Eames chair is three curved plywood shells: a headrest, backrest, and seat. Two metal spines set on spacers supporting the reclined rosewood-veneered back and sumptuous leather cushions (designed by Alexander Girard). “ * In 1961, Playboy sang the chair’s praises by saying the Eames Lounge Chair and ottoman “sank the sitter into a voluptuous luxury that few mortals since Nero have known”. Give this chair a try and you will understand why so many hail it as the world’s most comfortable chair. A piece of history and luxury, an icon of design.

Eames chairs, it's our goal to keep the vintage look while ensuring it will function as intended.
