Designers Charles and Ray Eames established their long and legendary relationship with Herman Miller in 1946 with this boldly original molded plywood lounge chair featuring wooden legs. Since then, the aesthetic integrity, enduring charm, and comfort of the lounge and its counterpart dining chair have earned them recognition as the best of modern design.
To help celebrate the 100th anniversary of Charles Eames' birth, the chairs are now available in richly grained birch veneer, like the original. A series of new colors refreshes the palette and recalls the times when the chairs were introduced. Shown at left in "Red Stain".
Molding thin sheets of lightweight veneer into gently curved shapes gives the hard material of this chair a soft, inviting appearance. The Lounge Chair with Wood Legs is now offered with birch veneer in seven new finish colors. These environmentally friendly aniline stains allow the wood's natural characteristics to show through. And Cherry, Walnut, or Natural Ash choices continue to be available.
The natural contours of the five-ply seat and back are designed to comfortably fit the body. Includes shock mounts made of resilient natural rubber to absorb movement.
