I agree, the Eames lounge chair is hard to beat for comfort and looks.

I meant the lounge chair: https://www.vitra.com/nl-nl/product/lounge-chair. There is now also a larger version, for modern taller and heavier people. Personally I am very fond of the aluminium group and have one as a desk chair in my study. But for a music chair I think nothing beats the lounge chair. |
While I have an Eames chair in my listening room/living room, my preference has been to listen from Wassily Chairs my wife and I purchased back in the 1970s. In addition to being a beautiful and classic design (see this Wikipedia writeup),
they result in my ears being at an optimal height for my particular
speakers (Daedalus Ulysses), and I would expect any effects they might
have on sonics due to reflections to be very minimal compared to most
other kinds of chairs, including the Eames. Also, the Wassily chairs are very easy to re-position when my wife and I are both listening. Various knockoffs of the Wassily are available at much lower prices than the genuine article shown at the first link. Regards, -- Al |
