Eames Soft Pad Lounge Chair, Model EA438

This is an Eames Aluminum Group Soft Pad Lounge Chair and Ottoman, model EA438, originally designed by Charles and Ray Eames in 1969. This example dates to 2009. The design features a cast aluminum frame with a 5-star base, and has thick padded cushions along its back. It retains its original dark brown leather upholstery that matches the coordinating ottoman as pictured.

This chair measures 31 inches long, 26 inches wide, and is 38.75 inches high. It has a seat height of 17 inches. The upholstery is in remarkably nice condition and appears to have been minimally if ever used. The chair still retains its tags underneath.
