Herman Miller’s Eames Lounge Tall Chair features a Timeless Design and Unparalleled Comfort
The Eames Lounge Chair & Ottoman was designed with the idea of combining style and comfort. The designer, Charles Eames, aimed to create a chair that would have the “warm, receptive look of a well-used first baseman’s mitt”. And indeed, the design does just that. The production techniques used by Charles and his wife Ray, a combination of technology and handcraftsmanship, emphasize the functionality of the chair and ottoman. But it’s not just about aesthetics, the Eames Lounge Chair & Ottoman also boasts luxurious comfort and support. This is why it has stood the test of time and remains a beloved piece of mid century modern furniture, even when compared to other iconic chairs of the 20th century.
The craftsmanship put into each chair is evident, with attention paid to even the smallest details. The shells of the chair are made from 7-ply cherry, natural cherry, walnut, or santos palisander, a sustainable tropical wood that resembles the Brazilian rosewood used in the original design. Like all classics, the Eames Lounge Chair & Ottoman only gets better with age, making it a valuable investment for generations to come.
