Designers Charles and Ray Eames

Also Known As Time-life chAirs—because they, along with the Eames walnut stools, were originally created for the executive floors of the Time-Life Building in 1960.

Chess genius Bobby Fischer demanded this chair for his legendary 1972 World Championship match with Russian master Boris Spassky, who, when he got a look at the chair, demanded one for himself.

By Charles and Ray Eames

Design Story When George Nelson asked Charles Eames to help in

the design of the U.S. Pavilion at the Moscow World

Exhibition in 1959, they needed to work fast. Eames

called his friend Henry Luce, the chairman of Time-

Life, to ask that Time-Life’s vast archive of images be

open to him for the slideshow he imagined. When

Luce said yes, the story of the Time-Life chair began.

Luce’s only condition was that Eames return the help

one day. A year after the exhibition in Moscow—a

great success, featuring Eames’ multi-screen slide

show, a first—Luce called to ask Eames for a chair for

the executive floors of his new building. Charles and

Ray Eames responded with the Time-Life chair and

walnut stools, and Herman Miller still produces them.

it’s all in the Details This luxurious chair is an example of Charles Eames’

belief that “the details are not details; they make

the product.” Generously sized, the executive chair

features the highest quality materials and with

casters or glides, so the chairs can work well in a

conference room, board room, conversation area, or

behind a desk.

Luxurious Comfort Comfort comes first. The seat has 4-1/2-inch-thick

foam cushions; the back cushions are 3 inches thick.

Armrests are well padded.

Eames Executive Features Generous proportions. Aluminium base and frame

and finely detailed leather or fabric upholstery.

Upholstery-covered buttons and edge details typical

of traditional fine furniture. Adjustable seat height,

tilt-swivel mechanism, and a stable five-star base

add to the comfort.
