A lounge chair that works for collaborative spaces, collaborative work and casual seating in the home, this modern design armchair is flexible, durable and sustainable. Made in the U.S.A, this collection of molded plywood lounge chairs adapts to any space without stridency and delivers the exact dose of personality.
Designed by Spanish-born, Berlin-based architect Jaime Hayon, this upholstered lounge chair is wide and finely balanced for collaboration or solo seating in public spaces or the home. It combines comfort with the perfect dose of personality and fluid forms that converse with everyone who sits in it.
The enduring popularity of the Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman stems from its ability to bring people together in a shared experience. This is what Charles and Ray believed the ultimate purpose of furniture should be. The Eames Lounge was a continuation of the pair's experiments in molded plywood and took a more luxurious approach. Today, the manufacturing process remains largely unchanged from the early Plycraft days with only slight improvements in efficiency and quality control.
The manufacturing process is rigorous to ensure every authentic Eames Lounge provides the user with the same rich design experience originally intended by Charles and Ray. It takes 47 different steps to produce one chair, many of which must be performed by hand. Herman Miller is the sole licensed manufacturer in the US for the Eames Lounge while Vitra is the licensed manufacturer in Europe, ensuring that your lounge will have the same high-quality design and manufacturing as it did 60 years ago. This is a level of quality that can only be achieved by manufacturers that make everything in-house, from the molding of the wood to the cutting and sewing of each upholstery piece.
