Anyone who dreams of the comfort and beauty of a 1950s Eames lounge chair in Rio rosewood will love this armchair – you can’t get a 100% original any better. With the matching, refurbished ottoman.

The new ones are no longer the same. We often hear this from our customers when they talk about the new Eames Lounge Chairs – and yes, they are right. Since 1993, the tropical Rio rosewood used in the past has been protected like ivory and is no longer available for furniture making. The leather with its chic silky sheen has given way to matt leather. In short; the old lounge chairs are nicer & more comfortable. Provided they have been well restored, that is. And the old ones have something that the new ones can’t have – history. Our armchair comes from a villa in Potsdam.
