The original intent of Charles Eames when he designed and built the Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman was much more modest. He wanted to build a simple and practical lounge chair with "the warm receptive look of a well used first baseman's mitt." Well...he created a timeless classic, which Sit4less.com offers to you at an extraordinary price. Die-cast aluminum back braces and bases are painted black with bright polished aluminum trim. Adjustable stainless steel glides. Choose walnut or cherry shell finish. 29% recyclable and 24% of the chair material was derived from recycled resources: 12% post-consumer and 12% pre-consumer content.
