Design Story: The Eames lounge chair and ottoman is the culmination of Charles and Ray Eames' efforts to create comfortable and handsome lounge seating by using production techniques that combine technology and handcraftsmanship. Its heritage goes back to the molded plywood chairs pioneered by the Eameses in the 1940s, and it's part of the permanent collection of New York's Museum of Modern Art. Charles Eames said his goal for the chair was the "warm, receptive look of a well-used first baseman's mitt." Every one is a special refuge from the strains of modern living. The first lounge chair and ottoman, produced in 1956, was a birthday gift for friend Billy Wilder, the Academy Award-winning film director, and it made its public debut on Arlene Francis' Home show, which later became the Today show. Every lounge chair and ottoman manufactured since then has received the same meticulous handcrafted attention.

But when the original cushions started to show wear, my wife decided to replace them with custom-made crush velvet pillow/cushions. T are 6 cushions, 3 in chocolate & 3 in tan, as you can see in the photos they can be arranged many ways. For those who prefer the orginal leather style, I've kept the hardware that attaches the cushions, and as you see by the photos it still has the original arm cushions. So all you would need is the back and seat cushions (about $1000.00) and you would have a brand new($4000.00) chair.
