This is an authentic Herman Miller Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman in classic black leather – a true icon of mid-century modern design. Based on the manufacturer’s stamp and label style, this chair dates from the 1970-1984 production era .

Designed by Charles and Ray Eames and introduced in 1956, the Eames Lounge Chair remains one of the most significant and celebrated furniture designs of the 20th century. Charles Eames famously described the goal as creating a chair with “the warm, receptive look of a well-used first baseman’s mitt” – a vision realized in this timeless piece .

Chair Dimensions:

Design Details

The Eames Legacy
Charles and Ray Eames are among the most influential designers of the 20th century. Their lounge chair was designed as “a special refuge from the strains of modern living” and has become one of the most recognized and celebrated furniture designs in history .

1970-1984 Production Era
Based on the Herman Miller stamp and label style, this chair dates from the 1970-1984 production period. During this era, Eames lounge chairs featured the distinctive Black Strip label on the underside of the seat and ottoman, which is present on this set .

Authenticity Stamp Included
This set includes the original manufacturer’s authenticity stamp, confirming genuine Herman Miller production. This is a critical feature for collectors and ensures the piece’s provenance and value.

Rosewood Veneer Shells
The chair features beautiful rosewood veneer shells with rich, warm grain patterns. The rosewood complements the black leather perfectly, creating the iconic contrast that defines the Eames aesthetic.

Classic Black Leather Upholstery
The chair and ottoman are upholstered in premium black leather – classic, sophisticated, and versatile. The leather is in great condition, showing the natural character and patina that only age can provide.

Die-Cast Aluminum Base
The chair features a die-cast aluminum back brace and swivel base with five legs, providing lasting durability and smooth swivel functionality.

Matching Ottoman Included
The set includes the matching ottoman (model 671), completing the lounging experience and allowing for full-body comfort.

Excellent Vintage Condition
Presented in great condition with general expected wear consistent with age – authentic character that enhances the chair’s vintage appeal .
