An Icon That Gets Better With Age

Designed to Last a Lifetime

Like all classics, the chair and ottoman get better with age, in part because of how they are made.

As Charles Eames described them, “The leather cushions do have built-in wrinkles to start with, but that is a clue that spells comfort to come, like the warm, receptive look of a well-used first baseman's mitt.” Over time, it develops a rich patina shaped by body oils, sunlight, and everyday use, becoming softer and more distinctive. Likewise, the molded plywood shells mature gracefully over the years. Finished with lacquer or oil, the wood veneer gradually deepens in color, enhancing the natural grain and warmth of the material. No two chairs age in exactly the same way, making each piece uniquely personal.

Both the chair and ottoman are hand assembled with great attention paid to the details. The shells are crafted from seven-ply wood veneers, while the cushions are individually upholstered and can be replaced when needed. Both pieces feature durable die-cast aluminum bases and back braces, with the chair including a built-in swivel mechanism for added comfort. Natural rubber shock mounts provide flexibility and support, while adjustable stainless steel glides ensure stability on different surfaces.
