Day 5 of Things I Love…The Eames Lounger

I think there are 2 kinds of people in the world…Those who love Eames Lounge Chairs and those who hate them.

I am definitely in the LOVE group. Those sexy curves and handsome wood grains just float my boat. But my dad on the other hand, is on the other side of the fence. Maybe my love and appreciation for the bentwood beauty comes from my furniture design studies. Dad jokes that his opinion is just due to his extremely good taste.

Dad would especially detest this version from the set of Gossip Girls covered in Missoni flame stitch. I think the only thing he likes less than the Eames Lounger is flame stitch. Though not a fan of the retro zigzag pattern either, I find this reincarnation of the Eames sort of urban and cool.

On this, the 5th day of the Things I Love series, I am going with the Eames lounge chair because I think it is the bee’s knees! What do you think?

  3. I also love this chair, but wasn’t a fan at first. It has to be “right place, right time.” The best thing of all is that is it so so comfy! Happy Saturday! xoxo
