When it comes to furnishing a home or office, the unification of function, form and style never goes out of fashion

1. Timeless Chair Design and the Eames
Effect

2. When it comes to furnishing a home or office, the
unification of function, form and style never goes out
of fashion Quality and class still retains its
desirability, even in more austere times. Despite
alterations in both taste and budget, iconic furniture
will always be in demand Timeless designs, such as
the Eames office lounge chair, remain in a class of
their own.

3. When brothers Charles and Ray Eames unveiled the
design for their Lounge Chair and Ottoman in 1956,
they were creating 20th century style history Indeed,
in proclaiming that he wanted his chair to "resemble
the warmth, familiarity and comfort of a well-worn
baseball mitt", Charles Eames' words still contain
meaning that makes them as apt today as they were
over fifty years ago.

4. Having undergone extensive design by the Eames
brothers, the lounge set was unveiled to a rapturous
reception and subsequently developed by close
collaborator, Hermann Miller The chair and ottoman
combination turned into real winners, capturing
numerous style accolades Long-standing permanent
exhibitions at the New York Museum of Modern Art
and the Art Institute of Chicago are testament to the
iconic furniture's cultural impact

5. The Eames Lounger also earned popular acclaim upon its
debut appearance on the Arlene Francis 'Home Show' in
one of their finest hours during 1956 'Dr. Frasier Crane', of
American sitcom infamy, has also displayed a set of the
furniture in his upmarket apartment
It's no surprise that Eames office chairs have gained such
notoriety. They are beautifully designed and crafted,
objects in which to luxuriate and do business in.
Combining a rich veneer and supple Italian leather, anyone
purchasing an Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman can sit,
back, relax and enjoy the experience.

6. A continuing emphasis on excellent build quality and design
has retained the furniture's original values: sumptuous
upholstery laid on by a foundation of an underlying
wooden substrate and thick cushioning underpins the
lounge chair.
A solid metal black base with polished stainless steel top
usually accompanies the modern version: rather than tilt,
the Eames Lounger is a swivel chair that remains
permanently reclined an angle of natural repose in order to
distribute body weight towards the rear of the chair for
maximum comfort.

7. Sure, owning an iconic piece of history and a lounge
chair that's been described as an understatement of
'cool' is an attractive proposition in any home or
office Not merely a status symbol, the Eames' design
has a substance and quality that's hard to match.

8. The brothers' piece of intelligent design was intended to
create a refuge from the stress and strain of modern life
and can now be seen adorning illustrious living rooms,
libraries, studies and offices across the globe This just
leaves the prospective buyer to ask themselves: where in
my home or office do I want to put my Eames lounge chair
set?
