By the middle of the 20th century, the name Herman Miller had become synonymous with “modern” furniture. Working with legendary designers George Nelson and Charles and Ray Eames, the company produced pieces that would become classics of industrial design.
Since then, Herman Miller has collaborated with some of the most outstanding designers in the world, including Alexander Girard, Isamu Noguchi, Bill Stumpf, Don Chadwick, Studio 7.5, Yves Béhar, Doug Ball, and many talented others. Herman Miller Eames® Lounge Chair Designed by: Charles & Ray Eames , 1956 Charles and Ray Eames Charles, 1907 – 1978 / Ray, 1912-1988 The prolific body of work of Charles and Ray Eames, which spanned from 1941 to 1978, extended well beyond their major achievements in furniture design, graphic design, architecture and film. Their influence on the aesthetic and social aspects of design made them two of the greatest industrial designers of our time. Born in St. Louis, Missouri, Charles Eames grew up in America’s industrial heartland. As a young man he worked for engineers and manufacturers, anticipating his lifelong interest in mechanics and the complex working of things. Ray Kaiser, born in Sacramento, California, spent her formative years in New York’s modern art movements and participated in the first wave of American-born abstract artists.
They met at the Cranbrook Academy of Art near Detroit in 1940. Cranbrook’s creed of better living through better design shaped their sensibilities and their shared agenda. They married in 1941 and moved to Los Angeles as the city was gearing up for World War II. Wartime experiments with new materials and technologies inspired the Eames’ low-cost furniture for Herman Miller and expanded ways for designers to work with industry. In LA, they conducted plywood experiments in their apartment. The US Navy order enabled the Eames to rent an office on Santa Monica Boulevard in 1942 and to gather a group of collaborators including Harry Bertoia. They produced sculpture, chairs, screens, and tables in plywood. Herman Miller, the US furniture group, was persuaded to put some of these pieces into production by George Nelson, its head of design. All the Eames’ plywood furniture combined an elegant organic aesthetic with a love of materials and technical ingenuity. After the success of the plywood pieces, the Eames focused on other materials, creating furniture in fiberglass, plastic, aluminum and, for the 1956 lounge chair, leather and rosewood.
The Lounge Chair became an icon of the 1960s and 1970s, becoming a must-have for all hip executives. Their collaboration with Herman Miller continued and extended to Vitra, its European partner. Charles and Ray were equally influential at making respectable the then-neglected folk crafts not only in the US but also in India. These concerns dominated their later work in the 1970s when, able to live comfortably on their Herman Miller and Vitra royalties, they concentrated their creative energy on propagating their ideas in exhibitions, books and films. Charles died in 1978 and Ray worked hard to complete any unfinished projects but having done so, did not seek new ones. She devoted the rest of her life to communicating their ideas through talks and writing. Ray Eames died in 1988, ten years to the day after Charles.View More by: Charles & Ray Eames"eames lounge" in Classifieds in Canada Use Distance Search to find Ads based on where you are and how far you want to travel.

GRAND RAPIDS, MI -- Something is wrong when you can’t tell an iconic Eames chair and ottoman from a Sonoma. That’s why Herman Miller is suing a Canadian company for selling knock-offs of its famous mid-century modern designs by Charles and Ray Eames that have a place in the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. The suit, filed in federal court in Grand Rapids this week, accuses the Toronto-based New American, Inc. of copyright and trademark infringement, and unfair competition. The lawsuit contends that some of Nuevo’s furniture products are “identical with, or substantially indistinguishable” from Herman Miller’s Eames lounge chairs and ottomans, Eames Aluminium Group and soft pad chairs, and other Eames Herman Miller products. Nuevo is likely to cause consumer confusion and is competing unfairly against Herman Miller by importing and selling furniture that incorporates one of the trademark designs or directly or indirectly uses one of the trademarked brand names, contends the company.
“Nuevo sells its knock-off furniture items, directly or indirectly, to retailers, who sell the knock-off furniture to consumers, sometimes in connection with the Eames trademark,” according to the suit. under the monikers Sonoma, Churchill, Vesper and Soprano, the suit alleges. MLive found access to those images were limited to the website's members, an image of the Sonoma lounge chair and ottoman can be seen on this retailer's website. A Sonoma chair and ottoman, described as featuring “ a bent plywood frame, cast aluminum base, and CFS foam with top grain Italian leather” were on special for $1,994, down from $2,149, according to the website of a Florida dealer. A Herman Miller Eames chair and ottoman sell for about $4,499, according to several vendor websites. An email request sent to the company’s Michigan sales representative seeking a comment went unanswered. The Zeeland office furniture manufacturer is being represented by the Kalamazoo firm of Honigman Miller Schwartz and Cohn, which is asking for a jury trial.
The law firm filed the suit Monday, Nov. 5 in United States in Western District of Michigan, contending the the court has jurisdiction because Nuevo is doing business in the U.S. and has a sales rep in West Bloomfield. Herman Miller is seeking an injunction to stop the company from making and selling the lookalikes, have it destroy remaining stock and turn over any profits made on the venture. The company is also seeking damages in the form of three times the amount of profits made on the counterfeit products plus attorney fees and court costs. Herman Miller has several registered trademarks on the designs of furniture and the brand names of furniture. Since 1956, Herman Miller has manufactured, advertised and sold the highly distinctive Eames Lounge chair and ottoman, and has a 2003 patent for the exclusive use of the design. Herman Miller also has a 1982 Eames patent, which gives Herman Miller exclusive right to use of the Eames designation in connection with furniture, according to the suit.
