At work we recently received Herman Miller's new version of the Eames lounge and ottoman. Decades ago, the folks at Herman Miller (HM) decided to change the cushions and pads on the Eames lounge and ottoman. The result was a stiffer, almost over-stuffed cushion thatalways looked as it is was about to pop. Recenlty, HM decided to take the chair back to its roots. They replaced the "new" cushion with one that is much closer to the original. Having had a chance to try both, I have to say they made the right decision. In addition to feeling more like you are sitting in the chair than on it, the new pads allow for the leather to "starburst" more around the buttons. Needless to say I live for the version in ash wood and white leather. I swoon at the thought. Enjoy!
