Eames Chaise
Just 18 inches wide, this lightly scaled chaise fits in a study, an office - even a hallway. Its soft foam cushions rest atop a gently sloping frame and two loose cushions give added support under the neck, back or legs. Remarkably comfortable, the development of the chaise was inspired by Hollywood director Billy Wilder. In a conversation with friends Charles and Ray Eames, Wilder mentioned that he often took his afternoon nap on a foot-wide plank slung between two sawhorses in the Nova Scotia lighthouse where he was filming "The Spirit of St. Louis." Wilder's unique solution stayed with the Eameses, who introduced their beautifully sculpted chaise in 1968.

The Eameses were a husband and wife team whose unique synergy led to a whole new look in furniture. Lean and modern. Sleek, sophisticated and simple. Beautifully functional.
Yet Charles and Ray Eames created more than a "look" with their bent plywood chairs or molded fiberglass seating. They had ideas about making a better world, one in which things were designed to fulfill the practical needs of ordinary people and bring greater simplicity and pleasure to our lives. ...
