They represent the transition from first to second generation for the Eames lounge chair. They have down-filled cushions, rosewood shells, rubber spacers, and three-hole armrests, however they have screw-in dome of silence foot glides on the ottoman rather than slip-on boot glides. The leather has a well-worn patina, attesting to the age of these vintage pieces.

These two chairs are the type that an advanced collector who appreciates originality and wants examples that attests to years of use and enjoyment.
