The products above are among the original modern classics still manufactured today and available through Herman Miller.
The Eames lounge chair’s development dates from 1940, when
Charles Eames and Eero Saarinen submitted a prototype to the
Museum of Modern Art’s “Organic Design in Home Furnishings”
competition in New York City. Thirty-three years later, MoMA
would make the chair part of its permanent collection.
The intervening years saw the lounge chair’s introduction in
1956 on the “Today Show” and its transformation into a modern
design icon, a lofty achievement for a chair that Charles hoped
would simply have the “warm receptive look of a well-used first
baseman’s mitt.”
