An authentic, late 3rd-generation vintage Eames Lounge Chair and matching Ottoman (Models 670 and 671), designed by Charles and Ray Eames and manufactured by Herman Miller in Zeeland, Michigan, circa 1978–1984.
Regarded as one of the most significant furniture designs of the 20th century, this iconic set features three molded plywood shells face-veneered in highly figured, authentic old-growth Brazilian Rosewood (Dalbergia nigra). The shells exhibit spectacular book-matched grain movement with high-contrast ribbon figure, deep chocolate streaks, and warm amber undertones beneath a smooth satin lacquer finish.
The chair and ottoman are upholstered in their original supple black leather, featuring hand-tufted buttoning and tailored welted borders. Herman Miller’s engineered rubber shock mounts suspend the seating shells, with cast aluminum back braces that allow the backrest to flex naturally with the sitter. The chair swivels effortlessly on its original five-star die-cast aluminum base. At the same time, the ottoman rests upon a static four-star base, each finished with black enameled recesses, polished top spines, and adjustable screw glides.
Full manufacturer provenance remains intact on the underside, including the Herman Miller rectangular logo plaque, the multi-patent label ending in patent number 3,124,390, the factory assembly inspection sticker, and the state furniture compliance label.
