Charles and Ray eames conveived of this exceptionally comfortable chair as the 20th century American answer to the Edwardian English club chair. The Eames Lounge Chair stand out among their work for its unapologetic luxury and the level of handcraft required in its execution. The Eameses wanted the chair to have "the warm receptive look of w well-used first baseman's mett", and the chair fulfills their objective with seductively soft, super leather upholstery. Its trim lines make this high-style, where it can blend with both ultramodern and more traditional. As with all of the Eames' design, this piece is timeless.
