Lounge Chair Ottoman

Earnes Lounge Chair & Ottoman Have Become True Works Of Art

Earnes lounge chair and ottoman are on of the most significant furniture designs of the last 70 years. Rich supple leather with a slick veneer finish suggests luxurious old fashioned style that conforms to modern forms. It sets an long lasting standard for elegance and comfort.

Wood comes from forests that are sustainably managed, environmentally sound.

Rich leather upholstery that has 6 inch thick urethane foam cushions gives you a classic comfort and luxurious smooth feel. Earnes lounge chair and ottoman has a contoured seat and high back that welcomes the ottoman. A clever swivel mechanism is built directly into the bottom of the seat that cannot be seen with the naked eye.

All pieces are hand assembled from American craftsman with close attention to detail and quality workmanship. The soft Italian leather cushions are separately upholstered and completely replaceable if damaged. The back cushions are interchangeable with smartly done shock features. Shock mounts are resilient rubber.

Hand-craftsmanship that combines with technology and clever production techniques are the culmination of Charles and Ray Earnes' efforts to create handsome and relaxing lounge seating.

The two brothers pioneered the molded plywood chairs made all the way back in the 1940's. The chairs are now are a part of the heritage and permanent collection of New York's Museum of Modern Art.

The first Earnes lounge chair and ottoman was produced in 1956 for Billy Wilder, the Academy Award winning film director. Arlene Francis Home show, that later became the Today show, featured the public debut of the Earnes lounge chair and ottoman to much adulation and fanfare.

The popularity of the chairs in the Hollywood community led to the fashionable acceptance of the Earnes lounge chair and ottoman into modern society and to this day they are collectibles that can command a handsome return on investment. If you ever have a chance to buy one of these exquisitely designed personable handcrafted collectibles you should cherish the moment. There are only a handful of these left for sale in the entire world. I attend many auctions around the world and I remember only seeing two in my lifetime that were sold for such a sum that it was a silent bid. I can tell you they went for well over ten times what they were originally paid for.

All the subsequent lounge chairs and ottomans have all received the same meticulous handcrafted personal attention to detail and careful assembly that makes them true works of modern art.
