ZEELAND, Mich., July 23, 2024 – Herman Miller expands its offering for the Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman, designed by Charles and Ray Eames, to include bamboo-based upholstery.
2024年7月23日,密歇根州齊蘭市―― Herman Miller公司擴大了Charles and Ray Eames設計的Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman的產品線,包括以竹爲基礎的織物裝飾。
Herman Miller has held environmental stewardship as an intentional focus since 1953, when founder D.J. De Pree said, "We will be a good corporate neighbor by being a good steward of the environment." With this in mind, Herman Miller has revisited many of its designs through material innovation over the years, including the Eames Molded Plastic Chairs, now made from 100% recycled plastic, and Aeron Chair, now made with ocean-bound plastic.
自1953年創立以來,Herman Miller公司一直將環保視爲其關注的重點。創始人D.J. DePree曾說過:“通過環保,成爲一個優秀的企業鄰居。” 憑藉這一理念,Herman Miller多年來一直通過材料創新重新思考其許多設計,包括Eames Molded Plastic Chairs,現在完全採用100%再生塑料製成,以及帶有海洋塑料的Aeron Chair。
The bamboo-based leather alternative is soft, durable, and more scratch-resistant and colorfast than any other material. It is used in designer handbags and footwear, luxury automotive interiors, and now, as an upholstery option for the iconic Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman from Herman Miller.
基於竹的皮革替代品柔軟,耐用,比任何其他材料更防刮花和不褪色。它被用於設計師手提包、鞋類、豪華汽車內飾,現在還作爲來自Herman Miller的標誌性Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman的織物裝飾選項。
Bamboo is deemed one of the world's most sustainable resources due to its rapid and continual growth, higher CO2 absorption rate, and usage of only one-third of the water required by other natural plants. Upholstering the Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman in material derived from bamboo helps reduce the materials carbon footprint of the chair by up to 35 percent.
由於其快速並持續的生長、較高的二氧化碳吸收率以及只使用其他自然植物所需水量的三分之一,竹被認爲是世界上最可持續的資源之一。將Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman的織物裝飾材料改爲基於竹製的材料,可將椅子的碳足跡減少多達35%。
Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman, often referred to by collectors and design enthusiasts by the product codes "670" and "671", was introduced on national television in 1956 by Charles and Ray Eames and has been in continuous production from Herman Miller since. It set the bar for lounge seating and quickly became a highly visible emblem of Herman Miller's quality. One of the most significant furniture designs of the 20th century—instantly recognizable in museums, homes, offices, and film sets—the timeless design provides long-lasting comfort through its signature reclined positioning and a shape that flexes to fit individuals. Citing the English club chair as inspiration, Charles said he sought to design a modern version of that chair, one that had "the warm receptive look of a well-used first baseman's mitt."
Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman,常被收藏家和設計愛好者稱爲“670”和“671”產品代碼,由Charles and Ray Eames在1956年全國電視上推出,自Herman Miller成立以來一直在持續生產 。它樹立了休息區座椅的標準,並迅速成爲Herman Miller質量的高度可見標誌。作爲20世紀最重要的傢俱設計之一,它在博物館,家庭,辦公室和電影設置中都是一眼就能認出的圖標,其永恒的設計通過其標誌性的傾斜位置和適合個人身體的形狀提供持久的舒適性。查爾斯說他以英式俱樂部椅爲靈感,試圖設計一個現代版的俱樂部椅,它具有“一個用過的一壘手手套的熱情好客的外觀”。
"Charles and Ray Eames pioneered the use of molded plywood in furniture, one of the central material innovations of their time. Today, Herman Miller is among the first furniture brands to offer a plant-based leather alternative—made almost entirely from bamboo. The two materials come together in the latest offering of the iconic Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman, upholding the aesthetic and quality standards that have defined the chair for nearly 70 years," says Noah Schwarz, Vice President of Product Design for Herman Miller.
“Charles and Ray Eames率先在傢俱中使用了模壓膠合木,這是當時最重要的材料創新之一。如今,Herman Miller是首批提供基於植物的皮革替代品的傢俱品牌之一,幾乎完全由竹製成。這兩種材料在最新的標誌性Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman上匯聚,維持了近70年來的審美和質量標準,”Herman Miller產品設計副總裁Noah Schwarz說。
The new bamboo-based upholstery colorways include ivory, russet, and black. Each can be specified with any of the existing shell types—walnut, santos palisander, ash, or oak—and in standard and tall sizes.
基於竹材料的織物裝飾顏色包括象牙色,栗色和黑色。每個顏色都可以與現有款殼類型-胡桃木,桃花心木,白灰木或橡木搭配使用,並提供標準和高款式。
Eames Lounge and Ottoman with bamboo-based upholstery can be purchased in stores and online at Herman Miller and through Herman Miller and MillerKnoll dealers for contract customers. Visit the Herman Miller website for your region for availability.
