Eames Lounge Chair & Ottoman: Real, Fake, or Reproduction?

The Eames Lounge Chair is that iconic wood and leather chair that looks sort of like a baseball glove. Its three curved wooden frames hold thick comfy cushions to cradle your body all over at a slightly inclined angle. It has been in continuous production since its debut on the Arlene Francis show in 1956, inspiring numerous knock-offs and some genuine reproductions. In 1960, an original Brazilian rosewood Eames Lounge chair and ottoman were donated by the Herman Miller Company, the U. S. manufacturer, to the Museum of Modern Art in New York City, where they became part of the permanent collection.

The chair was later seen on the TV show Frazier, which brought it to public notice again. Original chairs can still be found on eBay for upwards of $3700, along with numerous “Eames-style” chairs. It is a classic comfortable addition to any living space, but what s the difference between the “real” ones and the reproductions?

Selig Lounge Chair Restoration *part one

I found 2 of these matching early 60 s Selig Plycraft chairs with ottomans on Craigslist for super cheap. I have always wanted an old Eames lounge chair but known that it is not likely to be in my budget any time soon. Considering I have never redone any chairs or worked with leather I felt that the Plycraft would be a great place to start. The size of this particular replica is perfect for me (I am 5 2″). Some of the later versions are quite large and these are true to the original.

In the 1920s, a boy was born to an orthodox Jewish family in Omaha, Nebraska. Upon completion of medical school, our protagonist – now a man – completed his residency at the Mayo Clinic and practised medicine in New York before moving to Los Angeles. While in LA, he married a gentile, and the couple soon settled in Palo Alto, California where they raised two boys of their own in a massive, Queen Anne-style home built on a budget following a decline in local housing prices in 1907.

In the 1950s, upon seeing an Eames lounge on television, our protagonist made arguably the only impulsive decision of his life by ordering his very own Eames lounger. It arrived some time later and was installed permanently in his private office, thus isolated from his boys. In fact, the lounger remained in that office for well over fifty years, well past the death our protagonist, and was not removed from the office until the recent death of his wife.

Eames Lounge Chair – Charles Eames

La Eames Lounge Chair è un progetto che risale al 1956, ed è certamente una delle chaise longue più conosciuta e apprezzata al mondo. I coniugi Charles e Ray Eames la idearono a immagine di un caldo guanto avvolgente, calore sprigionato dalla poltrona stessa e dal suo rivestimento esterno, corredato infine da una seduta rivestita in pelle. Il progetto altro non è se non la risposta americana alla comoda poltrona da Club utilizzata in Inghilterra.

La chaise longue è formata da due pezzi distinti: la poltrona e il poggiapiedi, ovviamente corredati tra loro. Il basamento è in acciaio cromato, che regge la solida struttura impiallacciata in legno di diverse finiture.

La scocca in legno è suddivisa in tre differenti fasce che

avvolgono la schiena, collegate tra loro tramite raccordi

cromati e gommati. Il cuscino invece è in pelle o ecopelle

(nella versione più moderna), e data l elevata qualità e l eleganza progettuale non è contemplato il rivestimento in stoffa. Le dimensioni della poltrona sono 84 cm di lunghezza x 84 in profondità x 85 in altezza, mentre il pouff misura 63 x 56 x 42 cm. La Chaise longue è prodotta da Vitra, ed è oggi diventata un vero status symbol, quasi un must da avere
