Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman: The story behind the world's most enduring chair design

In honor of introducing the highly sustainable bamboo-based upholstery as an option for Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman, we visited with Charles and Ray Eames’s grandchildren, Eames Demetrios of Eames Office and Llisa Demetrios of Eames Institute. They talk about what the iconic design means to them and the lasting impressions Charles and Ray left on them about the iterative nature of design, the role of hospitality, and what it takes to make an heirloom.
