EAMES LOUNGE CHAIR DESIGN

The Eameses focused first on usability in their designs. In addition to the style, the Eames Lounge Chair is very comfortable, a combination not always found in high design. The chair has become iconic with Modern style design although when it was first made Ray Eames remarked in a letter to Charles that the chair looked “comfortable and un-designy”. Charless vision was for a chair with “the warm, receptive look of a well-used first basemans mitt.” The chair is composed of three curved plywood shells. In modern production the shells are made up of seven thin layers of wood veneer glued together and shaped under heat and pressure.

This differentiates the newer chairs from the “original” (vintage) chairs which used Brazilian rosewood veneers and were constructed of five layers of plywood. Also differentiating the very earliest sets from newer sets were rubber spacers between the aluminium spines and the wood panels first used in the earliest production models and then hard plastic washers used in later versions. In the earlier sets, the zipper around the cushions may have been brown or black as well, and in newer sets the zippers are black. The shells and the seat cushions are essentially the same shape: composed of two curved forms interlocking to form a solid mass. The chair back and headrest are identical in proportion, as are the seat and the Ottoman.

The Eameses constantly made use of new materials. The pairs first plywood chair—the Eames Lounge Chair Wood (LCW)—made use of a heavy rubber washer glued to the backrest of the chair and screwed to the lumbar support. These washers, which have come to be called shock mounts’, allow the backrest to flex slightly. This technology was brought back in the 670 Lounge chair. The backrest and headrest are screwed together by a pair of aluminium supports. This unit is suspended on the seat via two connection points in the armrests.

The armrests are screwed to shock mounts on the interior of the backrest shell, allowing the backrest and headrest to flex when the chair is in use. This is part of the chair unusual design, as well as its weakest link. The rubber washers are solidly glued to the plywood shells, but have been known to tear free when excessive weight is applied, or when the rubber becomes old and brittle.

Art favorites: Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman

I am typically not drawn to Modern design, but the Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman speaks of beauty and comfort. (Disclosure: I have not had the opportunity to try one out so I do not know really how comfortable/uncomfortable they are.) Somewhere or other I saw a video of how they are made and was smitten by the craftsmanship that went into them.

The chair and ottoman show up in design collections in museums but are still in production and sold. For just under $5,000, you too can own a genuine Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman from Henry Miller.
