Inspired by the groundbreaking 1940s Charles Eames Style Chair and Ottoman, this masterpiece has a history as rich as its comfort. Originally crafted in 1956 for the legendary film director Billy Wilder, the Eames Chair and Ottoman instantly redefined modern furniture with a blend of elegance, innovation, and practicality.
Smithers’ Wilder Eames Chair and Footrest brings to life the ingenuity of the 1940s Charles Eames Chair, first conceived in 1956 for film director Billy Wilder. This chair didn’t just stay hidden; it made a bold debut on the Arlene Francis Show in the USA that very year, leaving audiences in awe of its style and comfort. Charles Eames originally designed the chair for his friend, film director Billy Wilder, so it’s no surprise that Hollywood quickly embraced the piece, cementing it as a beloved fixture in both real homes and on-screen interiors.
Created with Hollywood in mind, the original Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman, designed by Charles and Ray Eames in 1956, quickly became a beloved fixture on film and television sets. Hollywood embraced the chair’s striking design and luxurious appeal, making it a popular choice for set designers seeking sophistication and modern style.
This iconic Eames design didn’t just make a splash in homes; it became a star in its own right, appearing in classic films and TV shows such as Iron Man, House, M.D., and Frasier. In each appearance, the Eames Chair symbolised elegance, modernity, and enduring design, earning its status as a pop culture staple.
Built from 100% molded plywood and fine oak veneer, the Wilder Chair stands as a testament to superior craftsmanship. We designed it for ultimate comfort, blending innovation and quality in every curve.
The swivel chair boasts premium Italian black leather and a sturdy powder-coated aluminum base, crafted to offer exceptional durability and timeless elegance.
Our English UK version takes the design up a notch, refining the original American model to new standards of luxury and quality.
Our Eames-style chair is a high-quality reproduction that captures the original’s iconic design, offering superb quality at an exceptional price. A true luxury for your home, it’s a masterpiece that brings both history and style into your living space.
