UBER HAUS EAMES LOUNGER IN MOTHIBISTAD

In the ’s, Charles Eames set out to design a modern answer to the Edwardian English club chair as a birthday gift for his good friend, the Academy Award-winning film director Billy Wilder. Today, the Eames Lounger and Ottoman is one of the most recognised and admired pieces of furniture of the 20th century, occupying many illustrious living rooms, studies, lounges and dens – and a permanent place in New York’s Museum of Modern Art. Perhaps because of its illustrious first recipient, the Eames Lounger and Ottoman was the first chair that Eames designed for a high-end market, but unlike previous Eames creations, the Lounger and matching Ottoman were upholstered in thick, comfortable leather. The Lounge Chair stands out among their work for its unabashed luxury and meticulous handcrafting. The Eames Lounger and Ottoman have spent most of their fifty-plus years in the spotlight. After brightening Billy Wilder’s birthday, they appeared on NBC television on Arlene Francis’s “Home” show. They also graced the apartment of the ever-discerning  Frasier Crane. More recently, it can be seen in the  Virgin Atlantic’s Upper Class  Lounge at Heathrow Airport. No doubt it will look just as natural in your home. Remember that these items are Pure Semi-Aniline Leather (just like the originals) - and not corrected grain leather. . You can make contact on:  - or e-mail graham @uberhaus.co.za
