Details
The Herman Miller Eames® Lounge Chair and Ottoman is one of the most celebrated achievements of modern furniture design. Introduced in 1956 and designed by Charles and Ray Eames, the chair redefined lounge seating by combining refined materials, ergonomic comfort, and sculptural presence into a single, enduring form. Still produced by Herman Miller today, this authentic Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman remains a benchmark for mid-century modern design and a lasting investment in craftsmanship and comfort. The Eames Lounge Chair was created with the intention of offering a lounge chair that felt inviting, relaxed, and luxurious without sacrificing modernist principles. Charles and Ray Eames famously described the goal as capturing “the warm, receptive look of a well-used first baseman’s mitt.” Unlike earlier molded plywood designs, this chair was conceived as a premium, long-lasting piece—one that emphasized comfort through proportion, materials, and form rather than mechanical adjustments. Its continuous production for more than six decades speaks to both its cultural significance and its enduring relevance in contemporary interiors. Each Herman Miller Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman is constructed using time-honored manufacturing techniques and premium materials: The comfort of the Eames Lounge Chair comes from its carefully engineered proportions rather than adjustable mechanisms. The angled seat and molded shells naturally support the body, while the matching ottoman encourages relaxed posture and weight distribution. This thoughtful design allows the chair to feel comfortable immediately, without the need for recline levers or manual adjustments—an intentional choice that reinforces the purity of the original design. The Herman Miller Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman is available in multiple configurations to suit different spaces and users: More than a piece of furniture, the Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman represents a milestone in design history. It is featured in museum collections, design publications, and private residences around the world, valued equally for its comfort, craftsmanship, and cultural significance. Its ability to feel both timeless and contemporary makes it equally suited for modern living rooms, offices, libraries, and design-forward commercial spaces. Is this the authentic Herman Miller Eames Lounge Chair? Yes. This is the genuine, certified Herman Miller production of the Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman, manufactured to the original specifications. Does the chair recline? No. Comfort is achieved through the chair’s fixed pitch, molded shells, and cushioning rather than mechanical reclining features. Is the ottoman included? Yes. The chair is sold exclusively as a paired lounge chair and ottoman set.
