Looking for the material names on this Eames chair

11 years ago

I am in the process of purchasing a couple of Eames lounge chairs and ottomans. I love the wood and leather combination selected in this photo. Can you provide the material names?

The finish looks like one of the oiled options to me, either Oiled santos palisander or Oiled walnut. The leather is one of the many blacks Herman Miller offers. I suggest you visit YLIving and request swatches if you are still in the market.

Hi there. I also two Eames lounge chairs for sale — they are both 1960s vintage. Until the 1980s, these chairs were made with Brazilian rosewood, which is no longer available due to environmental reasons. If you want a real design classic, you should get this chair with brazilian rosewood, as it was intended. krrb.com/joshlamiel
