Premium Materials: 7-Layer Veneer & Italian Aniline Leather

Our Eames-Inspired lounge chair is built to endure. The shell is crafted from a genuine 7-layer pressure-formed veneer (not cheap MDF or 8-ply alternatives), meticulously finished to highlight the warm, elegant grain of the walnut. Upholstered in genuine Italian aniline leather, the hand-sewn cushions feature welted, piped edges and high-density foam cushioning that retains its shape and develops a rich, unique patina over time. (See our close-up photography above for detailed views of the stitching and wood grain).

Fire Safety: The high-density foam in our cushions passed the strict UK crib 5 ignitability test (BS 5852 Part 2:1982) at SGS.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Standard and Tall sizing?

Our Standard size (84cm height) is ideal for sitters under 178cm (5'10"). Our Tall sizes (89cm, 91cm, and 93cm heights) are specifically engineered for taller frames, ensuring the headrest and recline angle provide perfect ergonomic support for sitters up to 203cm (6'8").

How does Italian aniline leather age over time?

Unlike pigmented or PU leather, full-grain Italian aniline leather is porous and breathable. Over time, it will absorb natural oils from your skin and develop a rich, unique patina, making your Eames-inspired lounge chair look even better with age.

This is an Eames style reproduction inspired by the 1956 lounge chair and ottoman design. It is not made, licensed or endorsed by the original manufacturers or the designers' estate. We offer museum-quality aesthetics and premium materials at an accessible price point.
