Eames-Inspired Design with a Contemporary Twist

This handcrafted solid mahogany lounge chair is a modern reinterpretation of Charles Eames’ iconic furniture designs, blending classic craftsmanship with innovative materials.

Every part of this chair is constructed with precise mortise and tenon joinery, using solid mahogany tenons for unmatched strength and durability.

What sets this chair apart is the woven parachute cord seat and back, designed for both comfort and resilience. The exterior-grade parachord creates a striking visual contrast against the warm, rich tones of the mahogany while offering a flexible and supportive seating experience. The sleek, angled frame and sculpted armrests add to the chair’s modern yet timeless aesthetic.

Balancing form and function, this piece is a bold statement in craftsmanship, celebrating the artistry of woodworking while embracing contemporary materials for a truly unique seating experience.
