The Eames Lounge Chair and ottoman, officially titled Eames Lounge (670) and Ottoman (671), were released in 1956 after years of development by designers Charles and Ray Eames for the Herman Miller furniture company. It was the first chair the Eameses designed for a high-end market. These furnishings are made of molded plywood and leather. Examples of these furnishings are part of the permanent collection of New York's Museum of Modern Art.

Famous quotes containing the words lounge and/or chair:

and poke at this dry page like a rough

for a mother and lounge in sad stuff
with love to catch and catch as catch can.”

“Show some mercy to this chair which has stretched out its arms to you for so long; please satisfy its desire to embrace you!”
