Flashback: The Famous Eames Lounge Chair Debuts
Even if you don't think you know the Eames Lounge Chair, you probably know the Eames lounge chair. Created by husband and wife Charles and Ray Eames for Herman Miller, the iconic mid-century modern design debuted in 1956, and it's still wildly popular five decades later. (One person even thought it would make a good tattoo.)

Ben Affleck graced the April cover of Esquire looking a little worked up. But, in the pages of the men's glossy, he exuded super sex appeal lounging in business attire in a fire engine red chair.
