Eames Tall Lounge Chair & Ottoman in Smoke Leather & Walnut by Herman Miller

Creator: Charles & Ray Eames -Herman Miller
Offered by: Object Refinery

Description
The celebrated legacy of Charles and Ray Eames continues to shape the design world today. Early in their mission to create accessible furniture for the masses, the Eameses pioneered the use of innovative materials, most notably molded plywood, which became the cornerstone of their postwar furniture collection. Their philosophy of “honest materials,” allowing wood to look like wood and metal to look like metal, remains evident in their groundbreaking work, none more so than in the iconic Eames Lounge Chair.

Few objects in design history are as thoughtfully engineered. The Eames Lounge Chair brings together a complex interplay of expertly molded plywood, refined wood veneers, and cast aluminum hardware. Shock mounts work in tandem with the natural flex of the wood to create a uniquely supportive seat, enhanced further by supple, top-quality leather upholstery. The result is a harmonious silhouette, an enduring symbol of comfort, craftsmanship, and modern design; one only the Eameses could have delivered.

Described as a “special refuge from the strains of modern living,” the Eames Lounge Chair feels as relevant now as ever. The shown chair is an example of the Tall edition, a slightly updated version designed to offer full-body support for taller users. Though the difference is nearly invisible to the eye, it is unmistakable in experience, each chair provides exceptional comfort from head to toe.

We currently have a collection of two Tall Eames Lounge Chair & Ottomans available, each featuring the classic walnut shell paired with smooth leather in the color Stone, a timeless and sophisticated combination. Both chairs are in very good original condition, with only minor wear consistent with age. As each piece is crafted from natural materials, subtle variations in wood tone, finish, and condition are to be expected. We’re happy to provide additional photographs or details upon request while inventory remains.

Chair: 33"W x 37.75"D x 33.25"H
Ottoman: 26"W x 20.75"D x 17.25"H
