The Eames armchair, inspired by the original Lounge Chair design by the American designer Charles Eames, is available in either leather or wood. Originally designed as a relaxation armchair for a filmmaker friend, it soon became the most popular and desired chaise longue for classy living rooms. The armchair is still recognised as a symbol of comfort and domestic interior design, as well as being an iconic piece with timeless elegance.
The base is a swivel base, the seat is upholstered and covered in leather, fabric or faux-leather, and the frame is made from curved plywood which has been manually treated with a wax finish. The backrest is very soft thanks to the padding, and also offers the right amount of support, thanks to its shape.
This armchair is a reproduction produced in an Italian craft workshop which specialises in leather and metalwork.

Information for your Purchase
In the version with fixed base, seat and backrest are not adjustable.
In the version with base on wheels, on the structure, just right under the seat, you will find a lever that allows to adjust both the height of the seat (by pushing the lever up or down) and the inclination of the backrest (by pushing the lever inwards the backrest remains in straight position, by pushing the lever outwards the backrest is released and it moves). Furthermore, always on the structure, just below the seat, there's a round knob to adjust the rigidity of the backrest movement.
