This lounge chair embodies the optimism of postwar California, when the swimming pool became the heart of domestic life and new industrial materials—such as fiberglass, popularized by Charles and Ray Eames—found their way into furniture design. The elongated turquoise seat rests on a sculptural three-pronged base that allows for two reclining positions. A testament to mid-century American design.
