Originally designed in 1956. White Ash reissued in 2011. Made in the U. S. A.
In Fall 2011, Herman Miller introduced a fresh take on the Eames® Lounge Chair - offering this classic fixed-height chair with new light coloring. This fresh, lighter style was developed to complement new contemporary interiors. Its wood shell is made from ash and finished with a process to arrest the wood in its natural, "freshly-cut" state. The resulting color is a creamy white that will not yellow over time. In addition, the metal components throughout the chair have been updated to a White finish that highlights the existing Polished Aluminum accents. The Eames® White Ash Lounge Chair can be upholstered in Pearl, Ivory or Almond MCL Leather. This natural, full grain leather will acquire wrinkles and creases and develop a rich patina with age, as intended by the Eameses for this design. "The leather cushions do have built-in wrinkles to start with, but that is a clue that spells comfort to come, like the warm receptive look of a well-used first baseman's mitt. " (Charles Eames).
