Few pieces of furniture have achieved the enduring status of the Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman. Introduced by Charles and Ray Eames in 1956, it remains the benchmark by which all modern lounge chairs are measured—combining sculptural beauty, exceptional craftsmanship, and unmatched comfort in a design that has become an icon of the twentieth century.
This authentic 3rd Generation Herman Miller example showcases richly figured Brazilian rosewood veneers with remarkable depth, warmth, and movement. The shells display dramatic grain patterns that shift beautifully in changing light, highlighting the natural complexity and chatoyance that made Brazilian rosewood one of the most coveted furniture woods ever used. Framed by the signature exposed maple plies, the wood presents with exceptional richness and visual depth, making this chair as compelling from the back as it is from the front.
Complementing the rosewood is a striking set of Midnight Blue leather cushions. The deep navy leather offers a sophisticated alternative to traditional black while remaining timeless and versatile. Softly tufted and beautifully tailored, the cushions provide the relaxed, inviting comfort that has made the Eames Lounge Chair legendary for nearly seventy years.
Retaining its original Herman Miller label, this chair represents an authentic 3rd Generation production—an increasingly desirable period prized by collectors for its quality of construction, classic proportions, and continued use of Brazilian rosewood before its eventual discontinuation.
Professionally inspected and presented by Hobbs Modern, the chair and ottoman are in excellent vintage condition. The rosewood has been carefully preserved to reveal its extraordinary natural figure, while the leather remains supple, comfortable, and ready for decades of continued enjoyment.
Whether placed in a refined living room, executive office, library, or architectural interior, the Eames Lounge Chair remains one of the most recognizable and celebrated designs ever created—a piece that is equally at home in a serious collection or as the focal point of everyday living.
Why We Love It
There are beautiful Eames Lounge Chairs, and then there are examples whose wood tells a story. The Brazilian rosewood on this chair possesses remarkable depth and character, with flowing grain that brings each shell to life. Paired with the rich Midnight Blue leather, it creates a sophisticated palette that feels both classic and refreshingly uncommon. It’s the kind of chair collectors hope to find—authentic, beautifully figured, and unmistakably Eames.
