Charles and Ray Eames designed the Eames lounge chair and ottoman for the Herman Miller company. They took years of development and were finally released to the public in 1956.
In searching, I do not see a specific catalogue for the Eames lounge chair. It is, however, available at Herman Miller and they do have a catalogue that you can subscribe to.

The Eames lounge chairs and ottomans were first released in 1956. The material used in constructing the legs is molded plywood.
Actually, the Eames Lounge is real wood and leather, not plastic. The lounger should recline and accompany a similarly sized ottoman. There should be no seams or bolts visible, and the certificate should be pasted on the seating's underside.
Eames chairs are made of plywood and the cushions are not stapled or nailed like most chairs. Here's a picture of one: http://www.ajchen.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/eames-lounge-chair.jpg
Generally, the Eames era is between 1950 and 1960. Although Charles and Ray Eames designed before and after this time period, this was their heyday.
Like any type of furniture there are different levels and designs of eames chairs. The cost would range from $1300 for an office chair to $4500 for a lounge chair and ottoman.
Yes, Eames Lounge Chairs are known for their exceptional comfort. Designed with ergonomics in mind, they feature a reclined position, cushioned seat, and supportive backrest that conform to the body's natural contours. The high-quality leather and plush padding enhance the luxurious feel, making it not only a stylish design piece but also a chair built for relaxation and comfort over extended periods.
