Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman by Herman Miller

living room / dining room Herman Miller Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman by Charles and Ray Eames Looking for a taller version of this Eames Lounge Chair? Please click here. At A Glance: The Eames Lounge Chair is probably the most famous mass produced piece of American furniture. Designed and built by the genius duo of Charles and Ray Eames, sat in and admired by countless (and comfortable) people over the years, this is the ultimate lounge chair. What’s to Like: Everything. The rich leather, the elegant and groundbreaking molded plywood shell, the intense comfort, and the beautiful ottoman. Not to mention the historic nature of the chair and the design, and the cultural cachet of the Eames name. No modern recliner is more comfortable, and no piece of furniture is more beautiful or more justly famous. This is the Emperor of all lounge chairs. What’s Not to Like: This is an expensive piece, and very fine one. It’s worth every penny, but that’s a lot of pennies. Also, if you’re on the taller side of the height spectrum, say, 5’10” or over, the Eames Lounge Chair might not be for you. You can still be very comfortable in it, but you have to scoot forward in the chair in order for your head to stay supported. Bottom Line: You can’t buy a better lounge chair for your home. This is the absolute creme de la creme, made by the greatest design team of all time, produced by the best furniture company in America. The chair has been on display for decades at museums like the Art Institute of Chicago, and New York’s Museum of Modern Art, and the reams of scholarly, critical, and fan writing and correspondence is enormous. It’s truly one of the most famous and well-respected chairs ever built, and now it can be yours through Smart Furniture and Herman Miller (Herman Miller secured the rights to sell Eames furniture, and there isn’t a more fine or trustworthy furniture company out there). The matching Eames Ottoman can be purchased individually here. The Eames Lounge Chair in White Ash is also available with playful light-toned leathers. The Herman Miller Eames Lounge Chair is also known by the following manufacturer Item Numbers: ES670, ES671, ES67071. Also In This Collection . . . .
