They were vital in popularizing new materials and techniques for crafting furniture, such as using molded plywood, fiberglass, plastic resin and wire mesh.
This item is not an original Charles & Ray Eames Lounge chair, nor is it manufactured by or affiliated with Herman Miller. Charles Eames and Ray Eames have a legacy for making furniture and were well known architects of their times. They had also worked for Hollywood movies. They had studied architecture in the University of Washington. This architect duo with their archetype ideas and insight created a design philosophy called the banana leaf parable. As per the duo, the banana leaf can transform into something very ornate. Going by this philosophy, they started to create remarkable designs in furniture that were usable and had aesthetic value. This couple created some groundbreaking industrial design and furniture design. Ray Eames was a student of abstract expressionism. The couple started designing plywood and plastic furniture and later exploited the graphic design and fine arts as motifs in furniture design. Eames Lounge chair that is still sold by many retailers online and offline is manufactured using their design philosophy of transforming art into a usable design.
The ottomans and the lounge chairs created by this couple are more than a century old and the design still stand out even in the modern, contemporary world. So, if you cannot afford the authentic Eames Lounge chair, you can go for the Herman Miller version of the Eames lounge chair reproduction. The original Eames lounge chair display comfort amalgamated with robustness and durability. You can get this vintage looks even in the replicas that are offered with discounted prices online. The Herman Miller version uses chrome as a base that stays well even on uneven flooring. So, if your garden or patio has cobblestone path, you can be seated comfortably on this chair on this uneven path. The original design produced by the duo resolves most of the complex engineering problems when it comes to construction and durability of creative and abstract designs. These designs will never go out of fashion as they have the basic design that is built on modern principles of art and design. The armrest of these designs is upholstered.
The specialty of the original design is its shock mounts and the way they are placed to hold the entire chair. You will not find this kind of assemblage in knock off designs. That is what makes the Eames furniture special and durable!What to Look for When Buying an Eames Lounge Chair? Choosing the Right Leather and Wooden Veneers (Read More...)

Citing the English club chair as inspiration, Charles said he sought to design a modern version of that chair, one that had “the warm receptive look of a well-used first baseman's mitt.”
Almost immediately, the design became an icon of American design. Today, these pieces not only live in museums, but continue to offer comfort and style to interiors everywhere. A universally recognized form, the set is available in a variety of veneers, multiple leather options, and two sizes. Whatever selection you make, you can be assured of the quality and authenticity of this design. Own a True Icon of Modern DesignWhen the set was introduced in 1956, there was nothing like it, and there is still nothing to equal it. The Eameses’ modern take on a 19th century club chair has not only endured for more than 50 years, it has become one of the most significant furniture designs of the 20th century—instantly recognizable and enduringly fresh. Like all classics, the chair and ottoman get better with age, in part because of how they are made. From the innovative hardware that fastens the cushions to the shells without marring the appearance of the wood to the fact that each piece continues to be assembled by hand, the combination of craft and manufacturing consistency results in pieces that are genuinely authentic.
Expansive OptionsThe Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman has become so recognizable that its configuration is a registered trademark. That form and the materials used to create it are an integral part of the experience the set delivers. Today, the chair and ottoman are available in a variety of veneers, multiple leather options, and two sizes. The same high level of quality and workmanship is guaranteed, regardless of the selection you make. Choose contract-grade or our MCL Leather, which possesses a striking balance among softness, durability, and color-fastness. MCL Leather is a premium, semi-aniline, dyed leather with 100 percent natural full grain. Color variations and surface marks are an inherent characteristic of this material, which will acquire wrinkles and creases and develop a rich patina over time. An oiled finish is available for walnut and santos palisander veneers. It closely matches the look and feel of the finish used on the original rosewood chair, and will need to be maintained with periodic hand oiling.
You can also choose the standard, high-performance lacquered plywood shell in all four wood veneers. The lacquered finish requires nothing more than dusting. To provide additional choices for complementing a range of interiors, the chair and ottoman are offered in all-black and all-white versions. The all-black version features an ebony veneer shell and black MCL Leather. For the all-white version, a white ash shell complements pearl MCL Leather. The metal components of the white ash chair are finished in white to highlight the polished aluminum accents on the base. Luxurious Comfort and SupportThe comfort and support built into the Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman help explain their enduring popularity. A dynamic blend of hand-craftsmanship and mass production techniques makes this possible. The cushions will not flatten or clump over time. As Charles Eames described them, "The leather cushions do have built-in wrinkles to start with, but that is a clue that spells comfort to come, like the warm, receptive look of a well-used first baseman's mitt."
Each hide used for the cushions possesses variations that are a natural occurrence in leather, and each will age to reveal its own unique personality. The seat is permanently tilted to take the weight off your lower spine and distribute it properly to the back of the chair. The lower cushion piece supports your lower back, so you feel relaxed. The angle supports your chest so that you can be comfortable as you read, watch a movie, or have a conversation. The ottoman also provides a health benefit. Most of us sit or stand all day, so blood collects in the lower extremities. Resting your feet on the ottoman helps restore normal blood circulation. Like all classics, the chair and ottoman get better with age. Both are hand-assembled with great attention paid to the details. Shells are 7-ply veneers. Cushions are individually upholstered and replaceable. The back braces and bases—of both the chair and ottoman—are die-cast aluminum. The chair base has a built-in swivel mechanism.
