Charles and Ray Eames

Billy Wilder chaise
Herman Miller USA, 1968 leather, enameled aluminum, plastic 76¾ w x 17½ d x 29¾ h in (195 x 44 x 76 cm)
result: $4,375






Inspired by a remark from the Eames' friend the director Billy Wilder, the chaise is designed for the perfect afternoon rest.
Due to the narrow frame, one would have to sleep with arms crossed. Inevitably ones arms would slip and cause the sleeper to awake, thus ending the catnap.
Sold with two pillows. Signed with applied metal manufacturer's label to underside: [Herman Miller].
