The Eames Lounge Chair Is Truly American

The Eames Lounge Chair is quite literally an American original. Since its introduction in 1956, the Eames lounger has been crafted nearly the same way in Herman Miller’s Michigan production facility. Not only does the Eames’ iconic, timeless design set it apart from other furniture pieces, but its quality craftsmanship make it distinctly American.

The simple and iconic Eames Lounge Chair.

It is no doubt that the Eames brand has stood the test of time (and the business cycle) for nearly 60 years, thanks in large part to efficient, high quality, manufacturing process. All Eames loungers start as seven plywood shells, which are molded into their recognizable shapes by heat and pressure. These hand sanded and hand finished pieces are truly one of a kind, as all of the seven piece come from the same tree, giving each chair a distinctive visual appeal. The Eames Lounge Chair exudes quality all the way down to its cushions, which are sewn and stuffed by hand(which are also renowned for their superior comfort).

The Eames Lounge Chair is a testament to simple, effective, and solution-based design. Demand for these chairs is always high, and they will undoubtedly be around for another 60 years.
