Designing for the Eames Lounge – Common Layout Problems

The Eames Lounger, designed by Charles and Ray Eames, is undoubtedly my all time favorite piece of furniture. Which is funny because I am not sure how it fits into my tiny living ideas, and is also known to be a highly masculine piece. But I can not help it, when I see one my mouth salivates with desire – I want that.

This post is about the common issues and problems that present themselves when designing a layout that complements the Eames Lounge. I started going through Pinterest images of rooms featuring the Eames Lounge and kept thinking – the chair looks great but that design is kind of wonky. I noticed time after time after time I was highly unsatisfied with almost all of these layouts. Why?

Common placements for the Eames Lounger

1. Within a home library setting or music collection with head phones nearby. I have a library, but I honestly do not curl up with my books too often, I figured majoring in English I have read enough books for a lifetime. When I want to sit in a comfortable chair, I want it facing a TV – sorry, call me an American but that does not mean I do not appreciate the piece. I want to really enjoy it and actually use it.

Herman Miller vs. Matt Blatt

Who are they?

Herman Miller is a high-end furniture company that owns the production licenses for timeless pieces including the Eames Lounge Chair (above), the Eiffel Chair and the Aeron Chair. Matt Blatt is a furniture company that specialises in replica designer furniture (it lists 437 individual replica items on its website) that are generally manufactured in China and significantly cheaper than the originals. A genuine Eames Lounge Chair costs around AU$5,400, while the Matt Blatt replica costs AU$1895.

What happened?

Herman Miller recently announced it was taking legal action against Matt Blatt over copyright infringement of the Eames name. Despite Matt Blatt publicly undertaking in 2006 to “clearly identify the copies it markets of the iconic Charles and Ray Eames designed furniture as replicas”, it had failed to do so on a number of occasions. The matter was settled prior to appearing in court.

Though the terms of the settlement remain confidential, Jeremy Hocking, Vice President of Herman Miller Asia Pacific, confirmed that they are “satisfied with the radical changes to Matt Blatt website that were implemented immediately after legal proceedings commenced”.

These changes include the following statement in bold on Matt Blatt homepage: “Matt Blatt replica products are not manufactured or approved by, or affiliated with, the original designers, manufacturers or distributors including Herman Miller, Charles or Ray Eames, Knoll, Fritz Hansen, Flos, Studio Italia, Giogali, Artemice Spa, Tolix or Xavier Pauchard“. Even with the word replica plastered all over its website, Matt Blatt does remain entitled to use the Eames name however.

Reading Nook Re-do

I have a little nook in my house on GPark that is too small for just about anything.  A dining table fits, but no chairs.  It has a bright sunny window, but there is a window air conditioning that is an absolute necessity.  I am thinking I might change the area into a reading knook/bar area/bookcase.  Is it possible?  Not sure, but I decided to head over to Pinterest and I searched reading nook Here are some of my inspirations

I am very happy the way my little nook turned out.  Here it is after a few tweaks and a trip to Big Lots.  Big Lots has really great deals on throw pillows ($12) and drapery panels and hardware ($75 for everything) and the rug ($15).  I already had my morning coffee and checked my email on the ipad and it was lovely.

Anyway else have a longing for a reading nook?  I was willing to sacrifice a dining space for one, but I am cool with it.  We will see how I feel at Thanksgiving though.

TIPS TO IDENTIFY AUTHENTIC VINTAGE EAMES LCM CHAIRS – HERMAN MILLER PRODUCTION

DATE STAMP OR LABEL: 

The chairs I found were early Herman Miller production – made in April of 1952 to be exact.  How do I know that? Because these early black HM chairs have date stamps on the bottom.  The date stamps is an easy way to authenticate early HM production. They were always done on the black aniline plywood chairs because the black color made it necessary to spray stencil on a date for it to show up. I believe the same is for the rare red aniline version of the chair. Not all of the natural wood (Rosewood, Birch, Walnut, Oak, Teak, Cherry, etc..) chairs had a date stamp applied.

If your lucky the chairs might retain a Herman Miller foil label, an example of one is here.  (The modern production chairs, being produced by Herman Miller in the last 15 years now use a small black plastic plaque with the Herman Miller name on it.  These are not vintage chairs but are at least authentic production. Except for a few years the plywood chairs have been constant production by Herman Miller or Vitra (the European company licensed to produce the design) since 1947.)

When people say “authentic chairs they mean produced by Herman Miller (or Vitra) the company that holds the license for the design.  In the last decade plenty of Chinese companies have been imitating and copying this chair. When it comes to market value the knock off are virtually worthless and will stay that way.  (I despise the influx of cheap, inferior Chinese knock-offs.)

Eames Lounge Chair

The Eames [eemz] Lounge Chair, officially 

titled Eames Lounge (670) and Ottoman

(671), were released in 1956 after years of development

by designers Charles and Ray Eames for

the Herman Miller furniture company.

It was the first chair the Eames designed

for a high-end market. They are made of

molded plywood and leather, and examples

of these furnishings are part of the permanent collection of New York Museum of Modern Art. They are prized for comfort, aesthetics, and for the pioneering use of new materials and manufacturing methods.

There is a decent used market for these chairs. Some collectors are willing to pay high prices for earlier chairs made with Brazilian Rosewood veneer, which is no longer available due to a worldwide embargo since 1992. Prices for original rosewood chairs have recently reached as much as $7,000 in auction. A new Eames Lounge Chair and ottoman starts at $3,200 for a Herman Miller model. In 2006, to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the chair, Herman Miller released models using a sustainable Palisander Rosewood veneer.
