Eames Style Lounge Chair & Ottoman - Ivory White Leather, Walnut Veneer

Eames Style Lounge Chair & Ottoman - Ivory White Leather & Walnut Veneer

There are very few pieces of furniture that manage to be both genuinely comfortable and genuinely beautiful at the same time. The Eames Lounge Chair is one of them. Our Eames Style Lounge Chair and Ottoman in Ivory White Full Grain Italian Leather with Walnut Veneer is inspired by the legendary 1956 design of Charles and Ray Eames, and it brings that same warmth, elegance, and effortless cool into your home today.

We have spent a lot of time making sure this replica gets the details right. The curves of the shell, the softness of the cushions, the weight of the base and everything has been considered. If you have always admired this chair from afar and wondered whether a replica could actually do it justice, we think this one will surprise you.

A Chair With a Story Worth Knowing

Charles and Ray Eames designed this chair in 1956 with a very specific feeling in mind. They wanted it to have the comfort of a well-worn baseball glove, something that wraps around you and feels immediately familiar. That idea, simple as it sounds, is what makes this chair so special. It does not feel stiff or formal. It feels like it was made for you.

The original has been in continuous production ever since and is now part of the permanent collection at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. According to Architectural Digest, it remains one of the most recognised and influential furniture designs ever created. That is not marketing language. It is simply the truth about a chair that has stood the test of time for nearly 70 years.

Our version honours that legacy without the original's price tag.

What You Get With This Chair

The upholstery is Full Grain Italian Leather in Ivory White. Full grain is the highest quality of leather available. It comes from the top layer of the hide, where the natural grain is completely intact, which means it is stronger, more breathable, and more beautiful than any other type of leather. Over time it develops a rich patina that actually improves with age, making this chair something that genuinely gets better the longer you own it.

The shell is made from moulded plywood with a Walnut veneer, which gives it that warm, natural grain you see in the original. The base is polished aluminium with a smooth 360 degree swivel and rubber feet to protect your floors.

Inside the cushions, you will find high-density foam topped with a layer of down feather filling. That combination is what gives the chair its signature feel. Firm enough to support you properly, soft enough to make you want to stay for hours. The ottoman is included as standard, so you can put your feet up and fully switch off.

The chair is available in three sizes. The Standard size suits most people up to around 5 foot 10. The Tall version has an extended backrest for anyone taller than that. The XL offers a wider seat and deeper cushioning for those who simply want more room. You can browse all three options in our Eames Lounge Chair Collection.

Why Ivory White and Walnut Work So Well Together

Ivory White is one of those colours that works in almost any room. It is lighter and warmer than pure white, which means it does not feel cold or clinical. Paired with the natural grain of the Walnut veneer, the result is a chair that feels both contemporary and timeless. It sits beautifully in Scandinavian-inspired spaces, in neutral living rooms, in home offices, and in open-plan areas where you want a single piece to anchor the whole room.

The Comfort Side of Things

A lot of designer chairs look incredible and feel average. This one is different. The backrest sits at a carefully considered recline angle that supports the natural curve of your spine without pushing you too far back. The ottoman brings your legs up to a position that takes pressure off your lower back and improves circulation. Together, they create a sitting experience that is genuinely restorative.

Whether you are reading, watching something, working through ideas, or just sitting quietly with a cup of tea, this chair makes that time feel better. That is not a small thing.

Built to Last

The moulded plywood shell is formed under heat and pressure to hold its shape permanently. The walnut veneer is applied in multiple layers for consistency and durability. The Full Grain Italian Leather panels are cut and stitched by hand, which is why the seams are clean and the finish looks tailored rather than mass-produced. Because it is full grain, the leather will not peel, crack, or deteriorate the way lower-grade leathers do. Rubber shock mounts connect the cushions to the shell, adding a subtle flex that makes the chair feel alive rather than rigid.

This is not a chair you will want to replace in a few years. It is one you will keep.

How to Style It in Your Home

In a living room, place it beside a floor lamp with a side table within reach and you have a reading corner that most people would genuinely envy. In a home office, it works beautifully as a secondary seat, somewhere to think away from your desk. In a bedroom, it becomes a private retreat beside a window. In an open-plan space, it can anchor an entire seating area on its own.
