WOW, this is it. The vintage lounge chair par excellence. The full black edition.
The Lounge Chair & Ottoman , designed by Charles and Ray Eames and introduced in 1956 , is one of the most recognizable designs ever created. Herman Miller describes the model as one of the most important furniture designs of the twentieth century, while the Eames Office views it as a design landmark and an exceptionally comfortable refuge for mind and body.
This piece is crafted in black leather combined with black wood , giving the ensemble a powerful yet understated appearance. The deep color tones enhance the form and create a timeless elegance that fits effortlessly into any interior. In this full-black version, the design gains an extra architectural calm and an almost sculptural presence.
The seat consists of individual, richly filled cushions that conform to the body. Combined with the slightly reclining position and the accompanying ottoman, this creates a seating experience that you understand immediately upon taking a seat. This is comfort at the highest level: soft, supportive, and perfectly balanced. It is not without reason that the Eames Office describes the model as a modern interpretation of the 19th-century club chair, intended to provide a soft buffer against the stress of modern life.
The leather is in beautiful condition and displays a lovely, natural appearance. Everything feels well-cared for and just right, as if the piece has always been treated with respect. The combination with the matching pouf makes the ensemble complete, not as an extra, but as an essential part of the design.
In terms of authenticity, this piece also carries weight. The Eames Office confirms that Herman Miller is the authentic manufacturer for most markets, while Vitra holds that title for Europe and the Middle East. Historically, ICF played a significant role in the European distribution and production context of Eames furniture in an earlier period, which makes vintage examples like this particularly interesting for European collectors.
You don't come across vintage examples in this condition very often anymore.
An exceptional opportunity to bring home a beautifully preserved vintage example of an absolute design classic.
