Eames Lounge Chair with Ottoman for Herman Miller, United States, 1950s

Creator: Charles & Ray Eames
Offered by: Goldwood by Boris

Description
Eames lounge chair with ottoman designed by the iconic duo Charles and Ray Eames for Herman Miller. This timeless icon is carefully restored to its first generation glory, born March 5, 1977 in Pennsylvania, USA. A celebration of craftsmanship and design, this masterpiece features the signature 7-ply plywood construction, fiberfill label and coveted Rio Palisander veneer. The Rio Palisander veneer, sourced from the highly sought-after Dalbergia nigra in Brazil, is renowned as the most valuable wood in the world. Meticulous restoration processes have breathed new life into this classic. The veneer has undergone a comprehensive treatment, including decapitation, bleaching, washing, scraping, sanding, and a finish with a PU varnish. All leather components have been cleaned, and two new cushions and armrests have been skillfully crafted. An extra back panel has been replaced, color-matched, and nourished, serving as a yearly reminder to pamper the leather. In addition, all hardware has undergone an electrolytic cleaning and steaming process, and manual polishing has breathed new life into the exposed aluminum elements. The result is a breathtaking revival of the Eames lounge chair, with every detail lovingly restored to its original splendor.
