A chair designed for comfort

The Eames Lounge Chair was a departure from much of the earlier work by Charles and Ray Eames. Instead of creating a lightweight and affordable chair for mass production, they wanted to make something more luxurious, substantial and personal.

The chair was first produced in the United States by Herman Miller. Its combination of sculpted wooden shells and removable upholstered cushions made it technically innovative, but it was the comfort and character of the chair that made it last.

Nearly seventy years later, the design still feels remarkably current. It works just as naturally in a modern apartment as it does in a more traditional interior, and the materials tend to become even more beautiful with age.

One of our most requested pieces

At Pino Interiors, the Eames Lounge Chair is one of the pieces we are asked about most often. We source them regularly, but they rarely stay with us for very long.

Sometimes a chair is already reserved before we even have time to photograph it or add it to the website. Good examples with the matching ottoman are especially sought after.

This time, however, nobody was waiting in line.

We currently have a particularly beautiful vintage example available, complete with its matching ottoman and original Herman Miller markings. The black leather has developed the kind of soft character that only comes with time, while the wooden shells give the chair its warm and unmistakable appearance.
