Description
*Note: This chair has been restored with refinished rosewood shells and new black leather and down filled cushions*

This 1960's Eames Lounge Chair in Rosewood and Ottoman for Herman Miller is a collector's item. This chair was designed to be a refuge from the strains of modern living. This is a vintage chair dating back to the 1960s. We can't pinpoint the exact production date but it has all the hallmarks of a early 2nd generation chair: round silver cushion clips on the inside of the chair, and debossed numbers stamped on all three shells, down filled cushions, Round Vintage Herman Miller label.

Treat yourself and enjoy one of the most iconic chairs of the modern era. According to Charles Eames, this chair was designed to emit the “warm receptive look of a well-used first baseman’s mitt. The iconic Eames chair is three curved plywood shells: a headrest, backrest, and seat. Two metal spines set on spacers supporting the reclined rosewood-veneered back and sumptuous leather cushions (designed by Alexander Girard). “ * In 1961, Playboy sang the chair’s praises by saying the Eames Lounge Chair and ottoman “sank the sitter into a voluptuous luxury that few mortals since Nero have known”. Give this chair a try and you will understand why so many hail it as the world’s most comfortable chair. A piece of history and luxury, an icon of design.
