My first “piece” of furniture I ever bought. You know what, I never knew a good chair makes you want to read more - isn’t that the goal?! The Eames Lounge chair and the Eames Ottoman were released by the Herman Miller company in 1956, and Designed by husband and wife duo Charles and Ray Eames. This chair was intended to be, first and foremost, inviting, Charles once explained that the lounge chair should have,"the warm receptive look of a well-used first baseman's mitt." The chairs were made of molded plywood, heated, then bent and shaped, and upholstered in leather. The rosewood really soothes me in this drawing.
