3rd Generation Eames Lounge Chair in Brazilian Rosewood

A beautiful early 3rd-generation Eames Lounge Chair in Brazilian rosewood and new Moss Green leather. Richly figured rosewood shells, prized for its dramatic grain, depth of color, and natural luster. Here, the veneer displays warm auburn and chocolate tones that look amazing with the moss green leather. This chair has been restored: Refinished Shells, New Leather, and New Shock mounts (Four mounts under the arms)

“Early 3rd Gen” is a sweet spot for collectors: it keeps several second-generation details while moving into later production refinements. Key identifiers on this chair include:

Rosewood shells with striking, book-matched grain

Bronze bushings (retained from Gen 2 before the switch to plastic)

Rectangular cushion clips

Foam & leather upholstery (factory spec for this period)

New shock mounts present and functionally sound

Condition
Overall: Excellent vintage condition, fully functional and comfortable.

Leather: New Cushions in full aniline leather in moss green leather. We can also put this chair in classic Black Leather at no additional cost.

Design notes
The Eames Lounge Chair is the benchmark of American Mid-Century design—comfort engineered like a machine, finished like fine cabinetry. This early 3rd-Gen example reads warm and architectural: the rosewood chatoyancy lights up under soft daylight, while the Green leather keeps the silhouette relaxed and residential.
