Herman Miller has the privilege of supplying the public with an iconic piece of design history: The Eames Lounge Chair.

Designed in 1956 by Charles and Ray Eames, the Eames Lounge Chair is a modern take on the 19th century English club chair. Inspired by a baseball mitt, the character of the chair leans into the familiar sense of comfort that accompanies materials that show the passage of time.

Upon inspection of its universally recognised form, the structure of the Eames Lounge Chair reveals a high level of considered craftmanship, intent on enhancing the sitting experience. The chair is deliberately designed at a tilt, evenly distributing the weight of the sitter across the piece and relieving pressure from localised areas of the body.

Comprised of voluptuous leather cushions on top of a moulded hardwood frame, the Eames Lounge Chair sees leather ageing gracefully within an elegant context. Wrinkles built into the original cushion material paint the picture of indecipherable age, granting the Chair a distinct timelessness and offering an escapist experience to the person using it.

Promising a luxurious rest on an item that will forever remain an interiors classic, the Eames Lounge Chair is a jewel in the Herman Miller furniture range.
