Lounge Chair and Ottoman, Model 670/671
Charles Eames (American, 1907–1978)
Following their market appearance in 1956, this chair and ottoman became the preeminent status symbol in interior furnishings. This example was purchased by the original owners for a house they built between 1957 and 1959 near Pasadena, Texas. Features of its early production date are the shiny leather and the single-piece rosewood veneers.
