The Eames LAX lounge chair, designed by Charles and Ray Eames and produced by Herman Miller, is a rare and distinctive variation within the Eames fiberglass series.
This example is executed in beige molded fiberglass, mounted on a white H-base, highlighting the chair’s sculptural shell form and the Eameses’ pioneering use of new industrial materials. With its wide, low proportions, the LAX was conceived as a relaxed lounge version of the iconic side chair, offering both comfort and visual impact.
Its minimalist geometry and honest material expression capture the Eames philosophy of uniting functional innovation with timeless modern aesthetics. The surface shows age-appropriate signs of wear, underscoring its authentic vintage character and collectibility.
