March 1969. Pacific Palisades, California. "Soft Aluminum Group and chaise at the house (Dick Donges and Keith Hall carrying Eames lounge chair in a grassy field)." Color transparency from the Office of Charles and Ray Eames. View full size.
Looks like a stretcher in the rye to me.
From Herman Miller, and for the bargain price of $7500. Good lord.
Ray and Charles Eames originally designed this chaise for Billy Wilder's office so he could catnap. They designed it so he would naturally fold his arms when laying down. Then, as he fell asleep, his arms would drop, and he'd wake up from his short nap.
It's still available at Herman Miller, if you want to sleep, but not too long.
