Creator: Charles & Ray Eames
Offered by: Hobbs Modern

Description
A beautifully honest, 3rd-generation Eames Lounge Chair in Brazilian rosewood and tan leather—original. Can be upholstered in Black or a color of your choice. This chair is in process and will be restored soon.

Why this example matters
Key identifiers on this chair include:

Rosewood shells with striking, book-matched grain

Rectangular cushion clips

Foam & leather upholstery (factory spec for this period)

Original shock mounts present and sound

Condition
Overall: Will be in Excellent vintage condition, fully functional and comfortable once restored.

Leather: Attractive, even patina to the tan hides; light, age-expected creasing.

Arms: Minor age-related checking/cracking at one arm edge (see photos).

Shells: Rosewood Shells to be restored.

Hardware / mounts: Solid and swivel operate smoothly.

Prefer it “as-found”? Keep the character and patina. Want it renewed? Hobbs Modern can reupholster and refinish to your spec (Italian aniline/leathers, period-correct foams, careful shell refinish) while preserving all generation-correct details.

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 lights up under soft daylight, while the tan leather keeps the silhouette relaxed and residential.

Dimensions
Standard Eames Lounge dimensions. Exact measurements and a condition video available on request.
