Designed in 1956 by the legendary design partnership of Charles and Ray Eames, the Eames Ottoman is the inseparable companion to the Eames Lounge Chair. Together, they form what is arguably the most famous and highly coveted furniture configuration of the 20th century. Conceived as a modern take on the traditional English club chair, this ottoman was designed to give luxurious, weightless comfort to the feet and legs, elevating relaxation into a profound design experience. When Charles and Ray set out to design the lounge chair and ottoman, they wanted it to have the "warm, receptive look of a well-used first baseman's mitt." The Eames ottoman is a masterclass in structural continuity. It utilizes the exact same material blueprint as the chair's seat shell, echoing its lines perfectly so that the two pieces flow into one another seamlessly. To maintain absolute structural elegance, the ottoman is engineered with a fixed inclination angle that naturally distributes leg pressure, promoting optimal circulation while you recline.
