The "Lounge Chair" ("and Ottoman", 1955) is the only Eames model which deliberately acquiesces to the world of luxury and opulence. Above all, it represents a decisive contribution to the modern design of the '50s, which, freed of the austere geometric forms of the '20s, moved towards more sculpted and organic shapes.
Eames wanted to design a comfortable yet simple armchair, whose frame and upholstery are fused like two hands crossed together. This is the explanation he gave his wife, or at least that's how the story goes. The result fully respects his intentions: the armchair appears to wrap itself around the body like a glove, allowing the user to sink in slowly, just the way Eames intended it. Without in any way minimizing its innovative aspects regarding materials: multi-layered curved rosewood for the three wooden "frames," pressure-cast aluminium (painted black and polished in the upper section) for the five-spoked base.
