LOL, it is the great American classic.

I have always liked the Eames "lounge chair".

I was reading just the other day that it was launched to the American public in 1959 with extraordinary hype -- its unveiling was even televised.

It still looks great even today.

The original manufacturer [Herman Miller] still make it, but it is also made by the Swiss company Vitra and the Italian company ICF -- there are also a number of other companies now producing unregistered reproductions of it in China and Italy.
