There’s no substitute for an original. Charles and Ray Eames set a new standard for comfort with their signature 1956 design for Herman Miller. Today, the Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman are still assembled by hand in Michigan following the Eameses’ original design: Seven-ply molded wood shells cradle expertly upholstered cushions. In more than 60 premium fabrics and leathers, each chair is meticulously crafted to last for generations to come. Make this design legend your own: https://hi.dwr.com/

In honor of introducing the highly sustainable bamboo-based upholstery as an option for Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman, we visited with Charles and Ray Eames’s grandchildren, Eames Demetrios of Eames Office and Llisa Demetrios of Eames Institute. They talk about what the iconic design means to them and the lasting impressions Charles and Ray left on them about the iterative nature of design, the role of hospitality, and what it takes to make an heirloom.
