Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman
Charles and Ray Eames
Charles Eames and Ray Eames were the embodiment of the inventiveness, energy and optimism at the heart of mid-century modern American design, and have been recognized as the most influential designers of the 20th century.
As furniture designers, filmmakers, artists, textile and graphic designers and even toy and puzzle makers, the Eameses were a visionary and effective force for the notion that design should be an agent of positive change. They are the happy, ever-curious, ever-adventurous faces of modernism.
Charles (1907–78) studied architecture and industrial design. Ray (née Beatrice Alexandra Kaiser, 1912–88) was an artist, who studied under the Abstract Expressionist painter Hans Hofmann. They met in 1940 at the Cranbrook Academy of Art in suburban Detroit (the legendary institution where Charles also met his frequent collaborator Eero Saarinen and the artist and designer Harry Bertoia) and married the next year.
His technical skills and her artistic flair were wonderfully complementary. They moved to Los Angeles in 1941, where Charles worked on set design for MGM. In the evenings at their apartment, they experimented with molded plywood using a handmade heat-and-pressurization device they called the “Kazam!” machine. The next year, they won a contract from the U.S. Navy for lightweight plywood leg splints for wounded servicemen — they are coveted collectibles today; more so those that Ray used to make sculptures.
The Navy contract allowed Charles to open a professional studio, and the attention-grabbing plywood furniture the firm produced prompted George Nelson, the director of design of the furniture-maker Herman Miller Inc., to enlist Charles and (by association, if not by contract) Ray in 1946. Some of the first Eames items to emerge from Herman Miller are now classics: the LCW, or Lounge Chair Wood, and the DCM, or Dining Chair Metal, supported by tubular steel.
The Eameses eagerly embraced new technology and materials, and one of their peculiar talents was to imbue their supremely modern design with references to folk traditions. Their Wire chair group of the 1950s, for example, was inspired by basket weaving techniques. The populist notion of “good design for all” drove their molded fiberglass chair series that same decade, and also produced the organic-form, ever-delightful La Chaise. In 1956 the Eames lounge chair and ottoman appeared — the supremely comfortable plywood-base-and-leather-upholstery creation that will likely live in homes as long as there are people with good taste and sense.
Charles Eames once said, “The role of the designer is that of a very good, thoughtful host anticipating the needs of his guests.” For very good collectors and thoughtful interior designers, a piece of design by the Eameses, the closer produced to original conception the better, is almost de rigueur — for its beauty and comfort, and not least as a tribute to the creative legacy and enduring influence of Charles and Ray Eames.
The collection of original Eames furniture on 1stDibs includes chairs, tables, case pieces and other items.

- One of a Kind Zebrawood Eames Lounge Chair for Herman Miller w/ Rosewood OttomanBy Charles and Ray Eames, Herman MillerLocated in St.Petersburg, FLIn 1971, an employee at Herman Miller grabbed a "zebrawood" plywood sheet and pressed a 670 lounge chair with it. The bottom of the seat cushion is dated and signed Ken Lyon 1971. I am not sure if this is an employee or the custom orderer. The Eames 670 lounge was always offered only in Rosewood or Walnut and with custom leather colors. Custom veneers was never an option. "Zebrawood" was an experimental cross cut veneer used on desks and credenzas designed by Peter Protzmann and were only offered from 1971-1972. The veneer proved to be too costly to make and wasn't well received at the time and was discontinued after 1972. The veneer has shown up on an occasional George nelson clock but never as a chair. This Eames lounge 670...Category

- Eames 670 Lounge Chair 671 Ottoman Blue Leather Walnut Rosewood Herman MillerBy Charles and Ray Eames, Herman MillerLocated in Topeka, KSFascinating vintage Eames 670 lounge chair and 671 ottoman in bright blue leather for Herman Miller. The seat frame is comprised of walnut, aluminum 5 prong base with black painted lower, and black shaft and the ottoman is comprised of a Rosewood frame, 4 prong base with black painted lower, and black shaft. This is a married set so please see NOTE below for further information. Beautiful condition, keeping in mind that this is vintage and not new so will have signs of use and wear. And this one has wear, so if you like perfect this is not the one for you. The chair frame has been oiled and all parts have been cleaned and assembled. The leather has been repaired and some buttons have been repaired with the leather from under the arms. We have supported the leather by gluing canvas to the underside as there were many scrapes and cuts in the original leather. We also mixed a matching leather coloring to use on the worn spots! It was then oiled and conditioned. The ottoman had some minor chip repairs to the Rosewood shell. Please see photos and zoom in for details. We attempt to portray any imperfections. Circa, 20th Century. NOTE: The seat, arms, back, and ottoman cushions and ottoman base are all 2nd generation determined because cushions are feather filled, wood is 5 ply rosewood, has screw on feet and not push on, and the clips match second gen clips; however, arms have only 3 upper arm screw holes which is a sign of 1st generation which makes me wonder but?? It’s a puzzle. The chair itself, wood portion and base are 5th generation determined by the walnut 7 ply frame which has a stamped date of March 29, 1999; however, the cushion clips look like 2nd generation clips…More puzzlement! This is definitely a treasure to observe, study, & love! Can we get a drum roll please…. Here it is! The chair and ottoman of a lifetime! This iconic and sought-after mid-century modern brainchild of Charles and Ray Eames was the product of years of research and development. It was first produced by Herman Miller in 1956. Even then it was considered iconic and was premiered to the public with great flourish on the NBC’s Home show while the Eames were being interviewed by Arlene Francis. It was regaled with lights and curtains and the whole nine yards! If you search online, you can find this unveiling to watch for yourself. This particular set is done in bright blue leather with button detail on the removeable seat and back, walnut frame, & black shaft. The chair has the famed 5 prong base with brushed aluminum top and black painted lower and the ottoman has a removeable cushion, 4 prong base with brushed aluminum top, black painted lower, and black shaft. We considered selling the ottoman and chair separately since the wood is unmatching however in our opinion, this set was brought together and married at some point and have probably been through a lot together over the years. We all know marriage takes commitment, so that just didn’t feel right! And besides…what’s a little “generation gap” when it comes to a good marriage? LOL… Seriously, there is something endearing about the different stages in the life of this “pair” and wanting to keep it original so it can live on for generations to come… it just adds to the charm. Not to mention we love the history held in vintage pieces. Just imagine the fun and enjoyment derived by sitting in this chair and the joy Eames’ would feel knowing they had in part provided that. See above note for specific details. This dynamic duo will look fabulous in ANY room of your home and is sure to be the topic of wonderful conversation! Charles Eames was born in St. Louis, Missouri in 1907. Ray Kaiser Eames was born in Sacramento, California in 1912. They met at Cranbrook Academy of Art in Michigan and were married in 1941. They moved together to California and continued their design work they began together at Cranbrook. A commission, which they acquired from the government during WWII to produce molded plywood splints and stretchers, launched a career producing iconic mid-century modern furnishings which are still fresh and sought after today. The Eames and their association with Herman Miller were the partnership of the century. If you want to learn more about Charles and Ray please visit Eames Office, the Eames Official website.
