Designers: Charles and Ray Eames. The lounge chair and ottoman have their origin in Charles and Ray’s investigations into molding plywood and a desire to improve upon a familiar fixture in many living rooms: the lounge chair. Citing the English club chair as inspiration, Charles said he sought to design a modern version of that chair, one that had “the warm receptive look of a well-used first basemans mitt.� Almost immediately, the design became an icon of American design. Today, these pieces not only live in museums, but continue to offer comfort and style to interiors around the world. A universally recognized form, the set is available in a variety of veneers, multiple leather options, and two sizes. Whatever selection you make, you can be assured of the quality and authenticity of this design.

Designers: Charles and Ray Eames. A graceful silhouette, innovative comfort features, timeless design add up to a chair that is obviously Eames. The side chair is a low-back, armless office chair that also works well at home. It’s now available with arms, a variety of finish and material options, and comes with a 4-star base.

Designers: Bill Stumpf and Don Chadwick. Its the most well-known ergonomic office chair ever made. With good reason. As the first to replace fabric and foam with a breathable, woven suspension membrane—its innovative Pellicle seat and back—Aeron distributes your weight evenly, eliminating pressure points and heat buildup. The Kinemat tilt lets you recline fluidly, and PostureFit puts support where you need it most while seated—at the base of your spine.

Designer: Studio 7.5. Material innovation gives the Setu chair its unique combination of flex and strength. The Kinematic Spine uses two types of polypropylene to control resistance as you recline and support your weight, without a tilt mechanism. More structural element than textile, the Lyris 2 suspension seat and back conform to your contours and aerate your body as you sit comfortably.
