The tall Eames lounge chair is for anyone 178 cm (5 ft 10 in) or taller. It keeps the 1956 silhouette but the backrest is longer and deeper, so your head is supported when you recline instead of the shell ending at your shoulders. Six leather and wood combinations, ottoman included, from €949 with free delivery across Ireland, the UK and the EU.
Tall version – all six combinations

If you are under 178 cm the standard chair fits better – the tall backrest will push your head forward. If two people of different heights will share it, choose by the taller one; a tall chair suits a shorter sitter better than the reverse. The full standard range is in the Eames lounge chair collection.
