Charles and Ray Eames’s experiments in material innovation led them to pioneer the use of molded fiberglass to create an organically shaped, single-shell chair in 1950. This low, comfortable lounge chair offers just the right amount of give, with a deep, slightly angled seat and waterfall front edge to provide soft support. The wire base is nicknamed “cat’s cradle” for its intersecting forms, which provide stability as well as graphic interest. Later, the material options were expanded to polypropylene, which is 100% recyclable and has a subtle matte texture. “The chair that Charles and Ray were designing,” says grandson Eames Demetrios, “is the chair that’s made tomorrow.” This is an authentic Eames Chair by Herman Miller.
