Vintage 2nd Generation Eames Lounge Chair & Ottoman in Brazilian Rosewood

Creator: Charles Eames -Alexander Girard
Offered by: Hobbs Modern

Description
The rosewood grain on this Eames 670/671 chair is amazing.

This chair has been fully restored. It has new shock mounts, refinished Brazilian Rosewood wood shells and new down filled leather upholstery. This chair is a 2nd Generation from the 1960's -1968's.

According to Charles Eames, this chair was designed to emit the “warm receptive look of a well-used first baseman’s mitt. It was designed as a special refuge from the strains of modern living. 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”. 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.
