The Eames Lounge Chair

I was looking through the many images I have shot over the last year and came across this one taken last January. It is of my dog Boo resting comfortably in one of my treasured Eames Lounge Chairs. The late Charles and Ray Eames (the chair's designers) would have been so proud to see how their design accommodates my dog's tail.

The Eames Lounge Chair is a design classic. First released in 1956 it has remained popular to this day and is still sold by the Herman Miller furniture company. These chairs retail for around $4000 today. Original chairs made of rosewood can fetch up to $7000 from collectors according to Wikipedia.

I purchased my chairs back in the 70's when they sold for around $750. I do love my chairs and they are my most prized pieces of furniture. Everything else in my house is pretty much "early American Radio Shack", meaning I have lots of stuff that has "genuine simulated wood grain". Of course, the main thing one needs to remember if you have a dog is: "All your furniture belongs to me!"
