Herman Miller Eames Sofa designed by Charles and Ray Eames At A Glance: With its emphasis on beautiful materials and simplified forms, the Eames leather sofa exemplifies the best in modern furniture design. Its angled profile and clean lines showcase a harmonious combination of rich walnut, soft leather and polished aluminum. Equally fitting for the contemporary home or office, its a luxurious place to settle back and relax. The Eames sofa was the last piece of furniture produced by the Eames Office, which completed the design after Charles Eames died in 1978. It went into production in 1984 and has been manufactured by Herman Miller ever since. Charles and Ray Eames designed the sofa to complement their plush soft pad chairs and the sleek chaise. It stands as a graceful reminder of the honest genius of Charles and Ray Eames. Whats To Like: Our first opportunity to sit on the Eames Sofa was notable for several reasons. First: we had never sat on a sofa that was so refined, so beautifully proportioned. Second: its a leather sofa, and we didnt slide off! The Eames Sofa is angled so that the sitter comfortably slides back into a supported position with weight distributed between the back and seat. Third: youd never be able to tell that the sofas foam is only 2 thick. It feels like youre sitting on a cloud. And Fourth: just the act of sitting on such a nice sofa, with the knowledge that it was worth a lot of money and was made so intentionally, put us in the mood for a glass of wine and a good book. The Bottom Line: The Eames Sofa is beautiful, richly appointed, and an icon of the mid-century modern era. Its immediately recognizable for the enduring quality of its design, and will be an heirloom-quality feature anywhere you put it. Not only that, but the Eames Sofa is full-blown comfortable. Its easy to find recognizable designs that arent comfortable - but this one was obviously designed by its future users with beauty and comfort in mind.
