The Eames Lounge Chair

The Eames Lounge Chair and ottoman is probably the most significant and recognizable piece of furniture of the 20^th century. It has pride of place in the permanent collection of the Art Institute of Chicago, and Museum of Modern Art in New York, as well as being the subject of many documentaries, books and an object of dreams for many. Incredibly comfortable, elegant and stylish, it combines everything that a Lounge chair should have.

This is the king of all lounge chairs.

It was designed in 1956 by Charles and Ray Eames as a birthday present for their friend, Hollywood film director Billy Wilder. The Lounge chair and ottoman were introduced to the public on Arlene Francis’ Home show, which later became the Today show.  Charles and Ray showed the Eames Lounge Chair in the, now classic, black leather and rosewood finish. And the rest, as they say, was history.

At Lost Weekend we are delighted to have this iconic piece on sale and display, come and see its excellence first hand.
