Charles Eames Ottoman

"Why don't we make a contemporary version of the old English club chair?" - with this question Charles Eames initiated several years of development work on the Lounge Chair model. The design was intended to realize the need for a large seat, creating a symbiosis of the ultimate comfort with the highest possible quality in materials and workmanship.

With the design of a club chair in 1955, Charles and Ray Eames set new standards: the chair is not only lighter, more elegant and more modern than the clunky club chairs known at the time, it is also more comfortable.

With these prerequisites, the Lounge Chair catapulted to become one of Charles and Ray Eames' most famous designs and a classic in modern furniture design history.

This is the footrest for the prototype lounge chair designed by Charles and Ray Eames in 1955. The chair - here the footrest model - was planned as a unique piece for his friend Billy Wilder, which he wanted to present him for his 50th birthday.

Classicfactory24 offers you the footrest in its original form from 1956, which is similar to the models of Herman Miller. The production is made according to the specifications of the licensee ICF (Milan - Italy) true to the original and of high quality. The use of original tools from that time paired with Italian craftsmanship guarantee the highest quality.

Available in many variations
The ottoman can be ordered in different leather variants and colors or in fabric. In addition, different versions of the wooden shells can be ordered. Cherry - or rosewood veneer. Walnut light or dark stained. Black stained or also black or white high gloss lacquered. This results in many interesting contrasts that allow the pouff to be individually designed.

Charles Eames (1907 - 1978). Designer and architect of American descent.
Charles and Ray Eames had an impressive influence on post-war design in the USA.
Among the most famous designs are undoubtedly the office and conference chairs of the Aluminium Group (EA 117, EA 119, EA 219, EA 108, EA 208), stools (EA 125, EA 225) and lounge chairs (EA 124, EA 224).


Sensation and fame
The highest fame Charles and Ray Eames achieved through the designs of their chairs. In particular, the 1956 model Lounge Chair with footrest in wood and leather caused a sensation.

Its history dates back to 1940 in which the model was shown as a prototype in Organic Design in Home Furnishings. The model showed an armchair in modern style that offered the comfort of a traditional armchair. Later, different versions of the chair were created, which led closer to the solution. According to Charles Eames, the chair was intended to have "the warm inviting look of a much used baseball glove". (Hence the cover in dark brown leather which is warm and cozy and not black as very often offered). Around 1956, film director Billy Wilder and a close friend of the Eames, received the first prototype of the chair as a gift. The chair fit like a glove.

First TV appearance
The first series of 50 chairs was made by machine and assembled by hand. The models all ended up in Herrman Miller's showrooms. An employee arranged for the lounge chair to be featured on the television show "Home Show". The chair became a bestseller and the Lounge Chair achieved worldwide fame.

The Eames chair combines comfort with art and has become part of design history. You can find this club chair in stylish homes, in offices, in lounges and also in museums.

An armchair goes around the world
The ensemble of armchair and ottoman is characterized by the highest seating comfort and the highest possible quality in manufacturing. For more than five decades, this club chair model has been manufactured in the heart of Tuscany. Innovations have always been incorporated into the production process, resulting in a still affordable armchair at the end of the production chain. The model is not just to be seen as an armchair. With its high recognition value and its design which very well also polarizes this design icon goes around the world.
