Like many of the Eameses’ furniture designs, the club chair No. 670 was the result of Charles Eames’s cooperation with Eero Saarinen in 1940, when both participated in the New York MoMA’s »Organic Design in Home Furnishings« competition.

The construction of the Chair is more complex than any other chair designed by Charles and Ray Eames. Moreover, it is the most comfortable and most expensive piece of furniture the couple created. One special feature of the construction is the connection of the seat to the back. The armrests provide the only connection of the back with the shell and feature washers made of Neoprene. The division between the individual functions through the segmentation of the structure and the use of different materials give the chair a technical appearance. The beloved (and expensive) status symbol turned into one of the great design classics.
