1969 Herman Miller Eames Chair And Ottoman

The Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman are grail objects for many. Designed in 1956, they remain largely unchanged today — a testament to their great design.

Its conceptualizers, Charles and Ray Eames, were pioneers in the design of molded, plywood furniture — the type that was meant to be easily reproducible, and affordable. The exception was their Lounge Chair and Ottoman, a pair of luxury products designed for a high-end market. Originally crafted from plywood layers covered in a rosewood veneer and fitted with leather, the set has since become iconic, part of the permanent collection of numerous museums such as the MFA in Boston and MoMA in New York City. Indeed, entire homes are based around it.

This sleek ad from the late 1960s calls to mind the best in design from that era, echoing the pops of color paired with highly saturated imagery found in Blue Note jazz covers. With its excellent use of negative space and compelling, witty copy — “For Christmas delivery write Santa Claus, ℅ North Pole *send carbon to Herman Miller, Zeeland, Michigan” — it beautifully captures the Lounge Chair and Ottoman as the pièce de résistance of a room, and numbers amongst the best advertisements from the period from any product family.
