Charles & Ray Eames on Twitter: "The first graphic of the Lounge Chair and Ottoman depicted the design exploding outward into its many individual parts. Artist Corita Kent crafted the calligraphy. #CoritaDayinLA https://t.co/9Gml4x5KtM https://t.co/M8yvfZo0fi" / Twitter

The Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman get better with age, in part because of how they are made. From the innovative hardware that fastens the cushions to the shell without marring the appearance of the wood to the fact that each piece continues to be assembled by hand, the combination of craft and manufacturing consistency results in pieces that are genuinely authentic. #loungechair #ottoman #classicfurniture #iconicfurniture #vintage #luxuryfurniture #interiordesign #homeinterior
