Palisander Wood Eames-Style Lounge Chair & Ottoman – Tall, Snap-Lock Design

A Mid-Century Design Icon, Reimagined in Palisander Wood

The Palisander Wood Eames-style lounge chair and matching ottoman is House of Furnishes’ Tall-size reproduction of one of the most recognized silhouettes in furniture history — the reclining lounge chair and ottoman first designed by Charles and Ray Eames in 1956. Our version keeps the proportions and profile of the original mid-century modern design while upgrading the parts that matter most for day-to-day use: the cushion fixings, the plywood shells and the leather backing.

This is a Palisander Wood veneer edition, meaning every visible wood surface — the shell backs, the base and the ottoman frame — is finished in Palisander rather than Walnut. It is listed here as a standalone product so it can be found, priced and reviewed separately from the Walnut Wood version.

Snap-Lock Cushion System

Older Eames-style reproductions rely on Velcro strips or hidden clips that wear out and let cushions slip. The Palisander Wood Eames-style lounge chair uses a snap-lock cushion system instead: each cushion clicks into place and can be removed and reinstalled in seconds, without tools. That makes cleaning, reupholstering, or swapping a worn cushion far simpler over the life of the chair.

Double-Sided Bent Plywood Shells

The seat and back shells are built from bent plywood that is finished on both sides, not just the front. That gives the shell extra structural strength and stability, and it means the chair looks finished from every angle — including from behind, where single-sided shells usually show raw board.

Palisander Wood Veneer: Rich Grain, Lasting Character

Palisander is the trade name long used for dense, dark-grained rosewood species prized in furniture-making for their reddish-brown tone and fine, wavy grain. On this chair, the Palisander veneer deepens with age and light exposure, giving the shells and base a warmer, more formal look than lighter woods — a finish that suits both classic and contemporary living rooms.

Upgraded PVC-Backed Cushions

Each cushion has a durable PVC backing panel beneath the leather, improving long-term wear resistance and helping the cushion keep its shape under daily use — a refinement over the standard cushion backing found on entry-level reproductions.

Leather Options for the Palisander Wood Edition

• Black leather — the classic, most versatile pairing with Palisander wood.
• Emerald Green leather — a bolder, statement pairing that stands out against the dark Palisander grain.

Available Finishes for This Listing

7. Care & Maintenance

Dust the Palisander wood shells and base regularly with a soft, dry cloth and keep the chair out of direct sunlight to reduce fading. Wipe leather upholstery with a damp cloth and a leather-safe cleaner; avoid abrasive or alcohol-based products. Because cushions unclip via the snap-lock system, they can be removed for spot-cleaning or storage without disturbing the frame.
