Eero Saarinen and Alexander Girard designed the Miller home and challenged Charles and Ray Eames to develop a high-quality seating product for outdoor use.Known for their honest use of materials, the Eameses constructed the chairs with cast aluminum and first conceived of a seat frame to support stretched fabric - a synthetic mesh (woven saran). Although the mesh was discontinued shortly after its introduction, Herman Miller reintroduced a new mesh material for the Aluminum Group in 2001. Called Cygnus, it is similar to the Aeron chair's Pellicle fabric in its aeration and translucent qualities.The seat-back suspension was a major technical achievement and represented a departure from the concept of the chair as a solid shell.Wonderfully comfortable, the chairs became the basis for several other Eames designs, including the Soft Pad chair group.Office Designs is an authorized retailer of Herman Miller for the home and carries the entire line of Eames lounge chairs."
