The Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman was introduced in 1956 by Charles and Ray Eames.  The Eames Chair and Stool is widely considered one of the most significant and instantly memorable modern furniture designs of the 20th Century. It was the exhaustive combination of Charles and Ray Eames efforts and their flair and creativity in modern furniture sculpture and Mid Century modern furniture architecture that created a unique club chair using the moulded plywood technology that Charles and Ray Eames had pioneered in the 1940s.
 
In Charles Eames famous words, we had a dream that the overall vision was that of a lounge chair with the "warm receptive look of a well used first basemans mitt" The resounded result has become the consummate lounge set, effortlessly and timelessly blending old fashion eccentric comfort with visionary modernism. By combining soft inviting Italian leather with the sleek seamless form of moulded plywood and balancing the seat on a 5 star die cast aluminium base perfection has evolved.
 
The Charles and Ray Eames Chair and Ottoman is constructed with a 7 ply walnut veneer frame, their own moulded plywood frame creation. Upholstery is in soft Italian leather covering a high density foam padding with die cast aluminium brases and stainless steel glides.
