Description

This is an original Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman, models 670 and 671, designed by Charles and Ray Eames for Herman Miller in 1956. This set dates to 1963 and appears to have been a custom order, having black ebonized wood panels, which we have never seen before. The color of the wood behind the original affixed paper labels is black, indicating that the black finish was applied in the factory prior to the labels being applied. Both pieces have aluminum bases with polished aluminum top surfaces, and have matte black powder coated sides. This set is widely considered to be one of the most significant designs of the 20th century.

The lounge chair measures 33 inches long, 33 inches wide, and is 31.5 inches high. It has a seat height of 15 inches and an arm height of 19 inches. The ottoman measures 21.5 inches long, 26 inches wide, and is 17.25 inches high. There are some scuffs and scratches on the bases, and some wear to the edges of the veneer. The wood panels show many decades of patina, and there are nicks and scratches on both. The leather shows some wear around the edges of the piping and has creases throughout. Overall, this important set is in very good vintage condition with age appropriate wear. Please see photos.
