Herman Miller re-releases "Rosewood" Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman
Well, what to talk about today? This one is a no brainer. In all the years that we have been a Herman Miller for the Home retailer, I can't tell you how many times I've been asked whether I think that HM will ever make the Eames Lounge chair and Ottoman in Rosewood again. My response, "probably not in my lifetime". Well, the next best thing has happened. In what is the 50th anniversary year of the creation of the Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman, HM has not only released a 50th anniversary edition in any of the current veneer options (Natural cherry, Cherry, or Walnut) , but they have also made available a new version in "Santos Palisander" which is a sustainable type of Rosewood.
"The 50th anniversary year is also the occasion for the introduction of a striking and richly grained veneer called Santos Palisander, a sustainably sourced tropical wood from Forest Stewardship Council certified forests."

We are excited to bring our first model of this new veneer in to our showroom, as we can start to order this now for the showroom and early in May for clients, at which time it will be available on-line as a completely separate chair on gabrielross.com
Another option that makes this chair even more luxurious is the optional upgrade to Edelman leather. Wow!!
