Eames Lounge Chair & Ottoman — White Italian Leather & Ash Wood

The most iconic lounge chair ever designed, in its most luminous and contemporary form. Originally created by Charles and Ray Eames for Herman Miller in 1956 and later produced by Vitra, the Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman is the gold standard of mid-century modern furniture. This Ash Wood & White edition pairs white full-grain Italian aniline leather with the cool, pale grain of ash wood veneer — light, bright, and perfectly suited to Scandinavian and minimalist interiors.

Whether you call it an Eames recliner, an Eames chair with ottoman, a lounge chair by Eames, or simply the greatest lounge chair ever made, our Eames-inspired Ash Wood White lounge chair delivers the legendary Herman Miller Eames lounge chair experience at a fraction of the price of the original Vitra Eames lounge chair.

Why Choose the Eames Style Lounge Chair in Ash Wood & White?

Not all Eames lounge chair reproductions are equal. The market is flooded with cheap Eames knockoffs and Eames imitations that cut corners on materials and construction. Our Eames style lounger is built to the same exacting specification as the real Eames lounge chair — using the same materials that made the Charles Eames lounge chair and ottoman a design icon. Ash wood and white is the most luminous of all Eames lounge chair combinations — two pale, cool tones that create a chair that feels open, airy, and effortlessly modern, as a fresh alternative to the traditional walnut of the original Eames lounge chair.

• 8-Layer Moulded Plywood Shell — The same construction as the original Eames lounge chair; not the flimsy 5-layer shells found in budget Eames chair reproductions
• Full-Grain White Italian Aniline Leather — Genuine premium leather; not the bonded or PU leather used in cheap Eames replicas
• Hand-Selected Ash Wood Veneer — Pale, contemporary grain individually matched for consistency — a modern alternative to the walnut of the vintage Eames lounge chair
• Rubber Shock Mounts — The signature feature of the Charles and Ray Eames chair that delivers its legendary comfort and gentle recline
• High-Density Foam + Down-Filled Cushions — The same sink-in comfort as the Herman Miller Eames recliner
• Hand-Stitched, Welted & Piped Cushions — Precision craftsmanship by skilled artisans, not machine-sewn shortcuts
• Solid Die-Cast Chrome Aluminium Base — Weighty and robust; 5-star chair base / 4-star ottoman base

Materials & Construction

Like the original Charles and Ray Eames lounge chair and ottoman, our Ash Wood White version is built around an 8-layer moulded plywood shell finished with hand-selected ash wood veneer. The cushions are upholstered in full-grain Italian aniline leather — in crisp white — and filled with high-density foam topped with a down layer for that signature sink-in comfort that made the Herman Miller Eames lounge chair and ottoman a legend. Rubber shock mounts connect the shell sections, delivering the gentle recline that no fixed-connection Eames lounge knockoff can replicate.

The Eames Lounge Chair: A Brief History

Designed by Charles and Ray Eames in 1956, the Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman was originally produced by Herman Miller in the USA and later licensed to Vitra for European markets. The lounge chair by Eames was conceived as a modern take on the English club chair — warm, enveloping, and built to last a lifetime. Today, the Herman Miller Eames lounge chair and ottoman and the Vitra Eames lounge chair retail for thousands of pounds. Our Eames-inspired Ash Wood White lounge chair delivers the same design, the same materials, and the same comfort — without the premium brand markup.

Eames Lounge Chair vs Plycraft — What’s the Difference?

The Plycraft Eames chair (also known as the Plycraft Eames recliner) was a popular American-made Eames style lounge chair produced from the 1950s through the 1980s. While vintage Plycraft Eames chairs are sought after as collectibles, our new Eames lounge reproduction offers the same mid-century aesthetic with modern quality control, a full warranty, and free delivery across the UK, Europe, USA, Switzerland and Scandinavian countries.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this an original Herman Miller or Vitra Eames Lounge Chair?

No — this is an Eames-inspired lounge chair, not an original Herman Miller Eames lounge chair or Vitra Eames lounge chair. It is a high-quality Eames style lounge chair that replicates the design, materials, and construction of the Charles and Ray Eames lounge chair and ottoman at a significantly lower price.

How does ash wood and white compare to walnut and white?

Ash wood is paler and cooler in tone than walnut — it has a lighter, more Scandinavian character that creates a softer, more luminous combination with white leather. Walnut is darker and warmer, creating a higher-contrast look. Ash and white is the more understated, airy choice — ideal for those who want the Eames lounge chair and ottoman to feel light and open rather than bold and dramatic.

Do you offer free delivery and are there any import charges?

Yes — free delivery to the UK, Europe, USA, Switzerland and Scandinavian countries is included with every Eames lounge chair and ottoman order. There are no import taxes, duties, VAT, or hidden charges whatsoever.
