This is an authentic Herman Miller Eames Lounge Chair featuring two premium upgrades that discerning collectors seek.

Designed by Charles and Ray Eames and introduced in 1956, the Eames Lounge Chair remains one of the most significant designs of the 20th century . Charles Eames 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 exceptional piece .

The chair has been in continuous production since its introduction and is assembled by hand to ensure the highest level of quality and craftsmanship .

This example features two key upgrades:

• Tall Back Version – Offers enhanced back support with a taller silhouette

• Edelman All-Grain Black Leather – Premium leather known for exceptional durability and natural character

Dimensions (Tall Version):

• Height: 33⅜” (33.375 inches / 85 cm)

• Width: 33½” (85 cm)

• Depth: 37¾” (96 cm)

• Seat Height: 16½” (42 cm)

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.

Tall Back Version
The tall back version offers enhanced back support with a taller silhouette. While the standard chair measures 31½” in height, this tall version stands at 33⅜” – providing additional upper back support without sacrificing the iconic low-slung profile .

Rich Walnut Wood Shell
The chair features a beautiful walnut wood veneer shell, crafted from seven-ply molded walnut with rich, warm grain patterns . The walnut is complemented by molded plywood internal frames .

Edelman All-Grain Black Leather
The chair is upholstered in premium Edelman all-grain black leather – a significant upgrade over standard leather options. All-grain leather retains the natural markings and texture of the hide, offering:

• Exceptional durability

• Rich, natural character

• Supple, comfortable feel

• Beautiful aging that develops patina over time

Die-Cast Aluminum Base
The chair features a die-cast aluminum back brace and swivel base, providing lasting durability and smooth 360-degree swivel functionality .

Authenticity Markings
The chair is stamped with a medallion on the underside to signify authenticity – a hallmark of genuine Herman Miller production .

Polyurethane Foam Cushions
The cushions are filled with polyurethane foam for optimal comfort and support .

Made in the USA
Hand-assembled in the USA, this chair reflects the exceptional quality standards of Herman Miller .

Why This Piece Matters

The Eames Legacy
Introduced in 1956, the Eames Lounge Chair was designed as “a special refuge from the strains of modern living.” It remains one of the most celebrated furniture designs of the 20th century and has been in continuous production since its launch .

The Tall Version Advantage
The tall back version is less common than the standard size, offering enhanced support for taller individuals while maintaining the iconic silhouette that made the design famous .

Edelman All-Grain Leather
Edelman is renowned for producing premium leathers for high-end furniture. All-grain leather represents the highest quality – retaining the natural hide’s complete grain structure for superior durability, character, and aging.

Why This Eames Tall Lounge Chair Stands Out:

Condition

This authentic Herman Miller Eames Tall Lounge Chair is presented in excellent condition:

• Walnut shell: Rich grain – no scratches or damage

• Edelman leather: Supple, all-grain texture – excellent

• Aluminum base: Immaculate – smooth swivel

• Medallion stamp: Present – confirms authenticity
