When the Eames lounge chair and ottoman was introduced in 1956, there was nothing like it, and there is still nothing like it. This summarises the significance of this unique design. Charles and Ray Eames’ modern take on a 19th-century club chair has not only endured for decades but has also become one of the pre-eminent designs of the 20th century.

Designed by Charles and Ray Eames for the Herman Miller furniture company, they are officially titled Eames Lounge and Ottoman. With their strikingly elegant looks and imposing presence, they are instantly recognizable and stay forever fresh in memory.
