Eames

Lounge Chair and Ottoman

Design Story: Treasured, Collected, Enduring

“Classic” is a word often applied to everything from

fast food to last week’s No. 1 pop song. For a different

perspective, consider instead the Eames lounge chair

and ottoman. Since its introduction in 1956 it has

been regarded as among the 20th century’s most

significant—and enduring—furniture designs.

Treasured by collectors worldwide and manufactured

with attention to detail (all pieces are hand-assembled),

the Eames lounge and ottoman just gets better with

time—not a bad definition for “classic.” And while it’s

true it can disassembled and its material components

recycled, the Eames lounge chair and ottoman is more

likely to be handed down to future generations.

One more important environmental fact: In 1991

Herman Miller stopped using rosewood, an endangered,

non-sustainable wood, to build its Eames lounge chair

and ottoman, and replaced it with cherry and walnut

from responsibly managed forests.

Herman Miller’s Design Protocol

Our commitment to corporate sustainability naturally

includes minimizing the environmental impact of each

of our products. Our Design for Environment team (DfE)

applies environmentally sensitive design standards to

both new and existing Herman Miller products.

The DfE Design Protocol goes beyond regulatory

compliance to thoroughly evaluate new product

designs in four key areas:

• Material Chemistry and Safety of Inputs—

What chemicals are in the materials we specify, and

are they the safest available?

• Disassembly—Can we take products apart at the

end of their useful life, to recycle their materials?

• Recyclability—Do the materials contain recycled

content, and more importantly, can the materials be

recycled at the end of the product’s useful life?

• LCA—Have we optimized the product based on the

entire life cycle?

Material and Recyclable Content

Eames lounge chair and ottoman components are

constructed from wood, aluminum, foam, leather,

steel, and plastic.
