Design Story
The Eames lounge chair and ottoman is
the culmination of Charles and Ray Eames' efforts to create
comfortable and handsome lounge seating by using production
techniques that combine technology and handcraftsmanship.
Its heritage goes back to the molded plywood chairs pioneered
by the Eameses in the 1940s, and it's part of the permanent
collection of New York's Museum of Modern Art.
Charles Eames said his goal for the chair
was the "warm, receptive look of a well-used first baseman's
mitt." Every one is a special refuge from the strains
of modern living.
The first lounge chair and ottoman, produced
in 1956, was a birthday gift for friend Billy Wilder, the
Academy Award-winning film director, and it made its public
debut on the Today show. Every lounge chair and ottoman manufactured
since then has received the same meticulous handcrafted attention.

Every Eames lounge chair is an investment
in significant modern design.
