Sleek Sophistication
A work of art. Trim lines, black leather, and a sculptural frame and base.

Beautiful Comfort
Six foam cushions. 2 1/2 inches thick and upholstered in soft leather; two additional loose cushions give support for the back, neck, or legs.

Gently sloping frame. Puts the body in a healthful, relaxed position, with the head and legs slightly raised.

Strong Support
Stable and durable. Die-cast aluminum frame and base.

Secure cushions. Cushions are joined by flexible zippers and secured to nylon fabric tightly slung on the frame.

Scratch resistant. Eggplant-colored coating is electrostatically applied to the frame.

Design Story
In 1955 while filming on location, director Billy Wilder discovered he could take quick naps on a plank held up by sawhorses. This prompted Wilder to tell his friends Charles and Ray Eames that he needed a narrow office couch. The Eameses remembered that conversation and in 1968 introduced the Eames chaise, giving the first one to Wilder. It has been produced by Herman Miller ever since.
