Eames-Inspired Lounge Chair & Ottoman – Light Rosewood – Tall (91cm) – Black Leather

Tall (91cm) Eames Style Lounge Chair & Ottoman – Black Light Rosewood

Proof of Fit, in one line: deep black Italian aniline leather on a striking light rosewood veneer shell, built at 91 cm overall height for sitters 183 cm to 193 cm (6'0" to 6'4"). That extra height puts the headrest where a tall sitter's head and neck actually are. The ottoman is included.

Standard or Tall? Which size to choose

These bands are our own sizing guide, not a formal standard. Leg and back length vary between people of the same height, so if you are close to 183 cm or 193 cm, do the two-step test below.

The sitting-height home test (2 steps)

1. Measure your knee height. Sit on a firm dining chair with your feet flat and your thighs level. Measure from the floor to the crease behind your knee.
2. Measure your sitting height. Sit upright against a wall and measure from the seat to the top of your head.

The seat height is 42 cm (16.5 in) on both sizes, so your feet sit the same way on the floor. The difference is above the seat: this chair stands 91 cm (35.8 in) overall, against 84 cm (33 in) for the Standard.

Prefer a quicker check? Use a chair where your head or neck is properly supported - a recliner, a car seat, or your current lounge chair. Measure from the seat surface to the top of the backrest or headrest that supports you. On our Standard (84cm) that distance is 42 cm. If the chair that supports you properly measures clearly more than that, the Tall is likely the better match.

Not sure? Send us your height and your measurements and we will tell you which size suits you before you order. If your only reference is a dining chair with no head support, skip the quick check and send us your numbers instead.

No dangling heels: the ottoman check

When you lean back, your heels should rest on the ottoman cushion, not hang off its far edge. The Tall comes with its own ottoman, 64 cm wide and 54 cm deep, and it is free-standing, so you choose the gap. Taller sitters usually pull it a little further from the chair.

To check at home, sit back with your legs straight out and measure from the front edge of the seat to your heels. Place the ottoman so that point lands in the middle of its cushion.

Chair & Ottoman Dimensions

• Chair height: 91 cm (35.8 in)
• Chair depth: 85 cm (33.5 in)

Materials & craftsmanship

• Shell: 7-layer laminated light rosewood veneer, pressure-formed for a clean, even curve. The paler, honeyed figuring sets off the black leather.
• Upholstery: black Italian aniline leather, dyed through rather than surface-coated, so the grain stays visible and the leather softens with age
• Cushions: hand-sewn, with welted piped edges; removable and reversible
• Shell joints: rubber shock mounts between the shell segments, so the back and arms give slightly as you settle in
• Swivel: 360 degrees
• Base: Black aluminium with polished edges - 5-star (chair), 4-star (ottoman)

UK fire safety

Fire safety: the foam in our cushions passed the UK crib 5 ignitability test (BS 5852 Part 2:1982, Schedule 1 Part I of the 1988 Furniture & Furnishings (Fire) (Safety) Regulations) at SGS. Test documentation available on request.

Care

• Leather: wipe with a damp cloth and condition with leather balm every 6 months. Aniline has no protective topcoat, so blot spills straight away.
• Light rosewood veneer: dust with a soft dry cloth and keep out of direct sunlight, which fades the paler grain fastest.
• Base: clean with a soft damp cloth and dry immediately
• Cushions: rotate periodically for even wear
