Description
Vintage 2nd Generation Eames Lounge Chair & Ottoman in Brazilian Rosewood and "Red wine" leather

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 "Red wine" 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.
