Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman created by Charles & Ray Eames reminds us that good design is worth all the effort. Relax and let Charles do all the work.The Charles and Ray Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman is probably the single most iconic piece of high modernist furniture ever made. 

The Charles and Ray Eames Lounge Chair and ottoman, officially titled Eames Lounge and Ottoman, were released in 1956 after years of development by designers Charles and Ray Eames.Charles and Ray achieved their monumental success by approaching each project the same way.

I always wondered how the Charles and Ray Eames Lounge Chair & Ottoman are assembled. In the following tips you'll see the whole process of assembly.

1.  Place the seat pan upside down with the off center holes closest to the edge facing you.  (This is the backside of the seat pan.) 

  
2.  The long fingers of the spider should point up (to the front of the chair).  Insert screws through washers loosely for proper hole alignment, and then tighten down all screws.

  
3.  Turn base and seat right side up. 

4.  Hold connector plate with the short, curved side up. Arm pad (top) holes should be off center and left, (for the right side of the chair in use). Arm pad holes go forward. The seat pan connects to the first two holes. Insert shockmount
screws approximately half way.

5.  Hold connector plate with the short angle up and arm pad holes (top) offset to the right, (for the left side of chair). Arm pad holes forward. Insert shockmount screws half way.

 
6.  To connect the lower back panel to the seat pan. Insert screws through connector plates and into the shockmounts located on sides of  the seat pan.  Insert all shockmount screws loosely at first until all are in place.

7.  Now tighten down all shockmount screws.

8.  Set spacers against lower back panel and line up support bars with holes then secure with screws.

9.  Set spacers against the support bar and attach the upper back panel.

10.  Attach the cushions to the chair, by starting with the back cushions first. Orient the top cushion with the square corners down. The welting should be flush with the wood. Slide cushion on to engage clips and then snap down button to secure in place. Orient the bottom back cushion with the square corner up.  Slide cushion on to engage clips and then snap down button to secure.

11.  Attach the seat cushion next. Orient the cushion with the snap to the back of the seat pan. It may help to cover the snap with cardboard while hooking the clips. Slide cushion on to engage clips and after all clips are attached then snap down button(s) to secure in place.  

Attach armpads. Orient the armpad with the seam on the edge pointing down to the inside of the chair.  The wider end of the pad to the back of the chair. Insert screws into connecting plate and attach armpad.  (If the customer has received new arms and the screws do not line up, use a long screw from the base in one hole and insert the short screw in the other hole, then replace the long one with a short one. Repeat for other side.
