Very First Generation 1956 Eames Lounge Chair 670 and Spinning Ottoman 671

About the Item

This extremely rare collectible is one of the earliest known productions of the 1956 Eames lounge chair with ottoman, non-stamped frame, and the holy grail spinning ottoman. In classic black and rosewood lacquered shell, this piece has been professionally restored by and includes all the original details: -three screw armrests -down feather filled cushions -special sized dome of silence -non-numbered back -underneath the seat, rectangle foil tag (not the round medallion), and the most important "design flaw": the spinning ottoman. Only the first few Eames chairs built had a swiveling ottoman. Eames worried a spinning ottoman may be dangerous for children so it was quickly discontinued within the first few chairs. A spinning ottoman with a bronze bushing and boot glides is the stuff of Eames Lounge chair legends. This is a true collector's item.
