The Eames Lounge Chair is gliding into style, as though it hasn’t done that for almost 70 years. Partnering with skateboard maker Globe Brand, the Eames Office has introduced The Lounge Collection, translating the classic aesthetic of the furniture icon for street culture.
Built with furniture-grade Walnut and Canadian Maple, the skateboards mirror the style of the famous chair to a T, with each board sporting a paint dip and laser-etched finishes that match the traditional Lounge Chair colorways.

The Lounge Collection offers several skateboard options, each with a distinct design and price point. The Eames Lounge 30” Cruiser, priced at US$259.95, and the slightly larger 32” Cruiser for US$249.95, cater to everyday skateboarding needs. For those who prefer a more extended ride, the 38” Longboard is available for US$339.95.

Decked out in respective colorways of white ash, walnut, and black oak, all set on Canadian maple, these skateboards combine the essence of Eames design with the spirit of skateboarding.

The trio’s attention to detail is further highlighted by custom elements such as metal Eames Office and Globe badges, and distinctive Eames logo deck bolts. Meanwhile, the skateboards’ black rubberized grip and flat edges are reminiscent of the chair’s elegant finish.

If you’ve been sitting around on your Eames chair all day, this might be your opportunity to go out and touch grass. The Lounge Collection is available for purchase on the Globe Brands website.
