Eames lounge chair and ottoman original not repro
Of the many Eames’s fine chair designs, this is possibly one of the most recognisable. Not because it was, or indeed is cheap to buy;it is not. Charles Eames was an American architect,who with his wife Ray were responsible for many famous stylish and comfortable mid-century modern chair designs.
Imagine after a hard days work sinking into the lounger shown above. With an incline (to 15%) just right, and a nice cold drink of lemonade to wash away your cares, you could spend happy time gazing out of your lounge window over a white beach and a crystal sea…no matter,perhaps you don’t need the view…
This lounger, with ottoman, is being sold as an original in tip-top condition. The chair comprises three walnut veneered moulded plywood units or shells. The padded cushions are attached to the shells and are covered in black leather. The base of the chair is attached to an aluminium swivel base. The ottoman is similarly made, and of the same materials. If you are interested in this luxury item from the mid-century you can check it out here
