Herman Miller Eames Aluminum Group Ottoman
Leather Upholstery
designed by Charles and Ray Eames

At A Glance:
Herman Miller introduced the Eames Aluminum Group in 1958 as Charles and Ray Eames' response to the need for high-quality indoor-outdoor furniture. It soon moved inside exclusively. The ottoman was created to complement the Aluminum Group Lounge Chair, and can even be used with the Executive Chair


What's To Like:
Balanced, with a minimalistic silhouette, the Aluminum Group Ottoman perfectly suits the Eames Aluminum Group chairs - and can even be a chair itself. It's sturdy, comfortable to sit on, and is just the right height to support the legs of those who use the Lounge Chair.

The Bottom Line:
This ottoman is an example of functional, attractive design. When Charles and Ray Eames made a piece of furniture, they were often trying to make something multipurpose like the LCW or the molded plastic chairs, or else something "perfect" for a certain task, like the Eames Lounge Chair and the Eames Aluminum Group Side Chair. The Ottoman fits both descriptions, with its ability to be an ottoman or a seat, and its perfect pairing with the Lounge Chair.

Leather Options:

• Stock Leather
  Chromium free and from Austria this stock Herman Miller leather is a winner for most. With a matte, soft feel this is the most popular leather used on Herman Miller upholstered items.
• Open Line Leather
  Austrian by birth, yours by choice. Open Line leather is closest to the stock Herman Miller leathers but available in a wider array of colors.
• Dream Cow Leather
  With a gentle calfskin grain (it's not calfskin though, its European full grain aniline dyed cowhide), this leather is soft and comes in many great colors to accent your decor. This is a leather of great versatility, perfect when Royal Hide is out of budget, but where the look is wanted.
• Metallic Dream Cow Leather
  A gentle calfskin grain (again, not calfskin but European full grain aniline dyed cowhide), infused with metals and soft shine, on cowhide for huge versatility. Updated, offbeat, moody colors.
• All Grain Leather
  Not too big - not too small - just "All Grain". Color and quality together wedding grain and color, always with a feeling of luxury. European full grain aniline dyed cowhide powered by Crypton, "All Grain" becomes an easy choice for high traffic areas and commercial offices.
• Royal Hide Leather
  This versatile leather is the most beautiful of its kind. The color range is huge, reflecting its broad applicability. It will develop a rich patina over time, making it a great heirloom, eliminating the need for reupholstery. A European full grain aniline dyed cowhide leather with no limits - sky, earth, sea.
