Both chair and ottoman were designed by Charles and Ray Eames in 1956 with the intention to create a chair with “the warm receptive look of a well-used first baseman’s mitt.”

The Eameses create this iconic lounge chair with light, supportive wood shells and cushions that perfectly sustain the body weight. Shock mounts and rubber and metal connections allow the seven-ply molded wood shells to flex independently. Set on a die-cast aluminum base, the Eames Chair swivels 360 degrees for ease of movement

The Eameses' lounge chair has become an icon in the history of modern design. It's not just an armchair, but a piece of American culture, which perfectly embodies the image of the confident optimism of the American Fifty. A true icon of style, which ideally combines refined design, maximum comfort, and high-quality materials and workmanship. I have official proof of authenticity such as vintage catalogs,
