The inspiration for the Eames Sofa Compact (1954) derived from a built-in sofa designers Charles and Ray Eames designed in the late 1940s for their home in Pacific Palisades, California. They liked that sofa so much, they decided to develop a freestanding version built on an airy pedestal of chromed-steel legs. With plush foam cushions supported by resilient webbing, it offers firm but flexible all-around comfort. This is an authentic Eames product by Herman Miller.
