50th Aniversary Eames Chair & Ottoman
Filed under: Decor
The Eames Chair and Ottoman set
are seminal works in modern design. Charles and Ray Eames created
the chair in 1956 along with many other important works of modern design. Their experiments with molded plywoods
changed the way people looked at and used furniture. The chair hs been available in several different veneers during
its history, notably among them is rosewood. This veneer was discontinued in the 1980s due to the unsustainable nature
of the rosewood supply. Recently, a variety of rosewood called Santos Palisander that is grown with healthy foresty
habits has been discovered and the Eames Foundation is offering special editions of the iconic chair and ottoman set.
To accent the rich rosewood veneer, black Edelman leather wraps the chair in luxury. The $6,500 chair and ottoman also
include a membership to the Eames Foundation and tickets to tour Charles & Ray Eames home near Malibu.
