It’s clear at first glance the Ray Eames Lobby Chair has serious designer pedigree, and with Ray Eames as its designer what better credentials could it have? With her famous designer husband (Charles Eames), Ray made up half of the most famous designer couple in the world and helped shape the iconic looks of the 1960s. Originally designed to decorate the lobby at New York’s Rockefeller Center, the Eames Lobby Chair was released as part of the ‘Leisure Group’ of furniture, a ground-breaking collection that brought new levels of quality and aesthetic appeal, even to designer circles.
Eames was well-known for marrying utility with good looks, and created attractive, durable furniture made with extremely high-quality materials. The Lobby Chair meets these exacting criteria, and brings something more: deep cushioning that adds visual softness and extreme comfort. Following its launch, the Eames Lobby Chair received such success and admiration that a series of similar designs were added to the collection, and all met with similar sighs of appreciation. With outstanding looks and superior comfort, how could they not? But the Lobby Chair is arguably the collection’s shining star, epitomising a decade of style and fun, and proving you don’t have to slouch to be comfortable. A true multi-purpose masterpiece, the Ray Eames Lobby Chair’s open design and thick cushions make it the ultimate relaxation space, with adjustable height and lumber support taking comfort to new levels. And whether you’re adjusting the height or swivelling, you can rest assured this sturdy creation has been designed to last.
Eames designs were all about durable beauty, and coupled with the high-quality materials used for this modern recreation, this is an investment that will give comfort and pleasure for years to come. So add a touch of class to any home or business, not to mention comfort. The lobby chair is offered in an endless range of leather colours. Alternatively, if you looking for the perfect chair to match your colour scheme, a bespoke colour match is available upholstered here in Yorkshire within two weeks.

But maybe you're designing something at the studio and the book is back in your dorm, or maybe you're at your office desk and the book is sitting on a shelf in the room occupied by that creepy new intern you're trying to avoid. Well, have no fear, we've gathered some basic reference info here that you can bookmark and refer to in a pinch.For those designing a basic chair, Wood Magazine has a great article called "Must-have measurements for comfortable seating" that draws on furniture industry guidelines to provide ideal figures. (Well, ideal if you're a 5'10" male.)To read the details behind those letters called out on the drawings, read the original article here.Maybe you're designing something a little loungier, like a sofa or easy chair. A feature story in Futon Life (wow, there really is a magazine for everything) provides some basic figures for both level-bottom and tilted-bottom reclining.Along these lines there is also this frustratingly unattributed image floating around the interwebs, which I assume was ripped off of Dreyfuss or perhaps Niels Diffrient's now-unaffordable Humanscale books.
Office solutions provider Allsteel has combed through data from BIFMA (the trade association for Business and Institutional Furniture Manufacturers) to produce Ergonomics and Design: A Reference Guide [PDF]. In it you'll find images like the following:For a more coherent set of workstation dimensions including the numbers for seating/worksurface on the same page, you may want to refer to the drawings below, from Ernest Irving Freese's Architectural Record. However, be aware: There are no measurements for computer monitors in these drawings—because they were developed way back in 1932. (While it's not indicated on the drawing, all of these figures in the illustrations are starving because it was the Great Depression.)If you've scored your first commission to design a bar or restaurant, or if you're looking to design a similar set-up for a domestic or office situation, these images from an Americans with Disabilities Act pamphlet may prove useful:If you're designing a bespoke piece of furniture for a single client, their body is the only one you need to worry about
