Eames® Ottoman

Overview

Design by Charles & Ray Eames, 1956.
Made in the U.S.A. by Herman Miller.

The Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman are considered among the most significant and collectible furniture designs of the 20th century. The rich veneer and supple leather suggest old-fashioned luxury translated into modern forms, setting an enduring standard for comfort and elegance.

As with the collection's lounge chair, this Ottoman is hand assembled and produced from wood harvested exclusively from sustainably managed forests.

New in 2011, Herman Miller has focused considerable effort on retaining the original design intent of Charles and Ray Eames for this model. To this end, new oiled finishes are now available. The oiled finish closely matches the look and feel that was originally offered on this design and gives these veneers a lustrous appearance. Just like the original oiled finish, it will need to be maintained for years of enjoyment. And the fit and finish of the Eames Lounge cushions has been altered to their original design as well. "The leather cushions do have built-in wrinkles to start with, but that is a clue that spells comfort to come, like the warm receptive look of a well-used first baseman's mitt." (Charles Eames).

The Eames Ottoman is offered in a broad spectrum of leather types and colors. It features a molded veneer shell, 6" thick foam cushions with leather upholstery, and a black enameled base with polished aluminum trim. Select wood veneer or new oiled finish. Then select leather type and color. Also available in the new Eames® White Ash Ottoman.
