The seat has inspired many knock-offs, but authentic versions are currently manufactured by both Herman Miller and Vitra, and vintage Eames lounge chairs can be found on 1stDibs.
- Why is the Eames chair iconic?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022The Eames chair is iconic due to its sleek and handsome design, making it the first lounge chair of its time to depart from more traditional, bulky styles.

On 1stDibs, explore a wide range of Eames furniture from some of the world's top dealers.
- Who designed the Eames chair?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2024Charles and Ray Eames designed the Eames chair. A married couple, they were the embodiment of the inventiveness, energy and optimism at the heart of mid-century modern American design and have been recognized as among the most influential designers of the 20th century.

- 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 25, 2019
Modeling is an additive process; carving is a subtractive process.
- What is a small scale model?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertSeptember 28, 2021A small scale model is a copy of a larger object which is being represented. Usually, the scale model is smaller than the original and is used as a guide in creating the actual size object. Very often a small scale model becomes a collector’s item.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 21, 2024The coupe glass was shaped to be a smaller glass for drinking sparkling wine, modeled on the larger goblets for cider and ale. Although there are legends about it being modeled after the curvaceous shape of a woman's breast, these are largely apocryphal. More recent designs like Restaurant 34 in London collaborating with Kate Moss for a coupe based on her breast in 2014 have perpetuated this myth. Find a wide variety of coupe glasses on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2024Yes, Charles Eames chairs are comfortable. The Eameses — Charles and Ray — were fascinated by ergonomics and designed chairs with comfort in mind. The legendary mid-century modernist designer-couple famously called their Eames lounge chair and ottoman “a special refuge from the strains of modern living” and described their design as having the “warm receptive look of a well-used first baseman’s mitt.”
While the couple’s DCW chairs, introduced in the 1940s, prioritized ease of production and affordability of materials, the Eames lounger, which debuted in 1956, was Charles and Ray’s interpretation of luxury furniture. And to the Eameses, luxury meant, above all, comfort.
Find vintage Charles and Ray Eames furniture on 1stDibs. - 1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023When it debuted in 1956, the Eames chair cost $310. Adjusted for inflation, that sum equates to around $3,100 today. The mid-century modern chair designed by Charles and Ray Eames features a plywood base and leather upholstery.
