eames sofa compact
Design Charles & Ray Eames,
1954
Steel frame/legs, urethane foam
Why “compact” for a sofa that’s six feet wide and seats three? The clean profile of the Eames sofa compact is perfectly scaled for spaces too small for a traditional sofa—in executive suites, lounges, and homes. But you lose none of the comfort associated with the word couch. Impact and seating space in a sleek, slender, minimalist piece of classic mid-century furniture.
With all the comfort you expect from cushy, heavy sofas, the Eames sofa compact sits well where bulky traditional sofas can’t. In your home’s vestibule, study, craft or sewing room, or home office. In executive suites, lounges, and reception areas. In small apartment living rooms, where it provides plenty of seating without ruining the scale of the room.

Herman Miller was a West Michigan businessman who helped his son-in-law, D.J. De Pree, buy the Michigan Star Furniture Company in 1923. De Pree had been working at the company, which opened in 1905, since he was hired in 1909 as a clerk. De Pree knew his father-in-law was a man of integrity, so he decided to rename the company after him. By the middle of the 20th century, the name Herman Miller had become synonymous with “modern” furniture. Working with legendary designers George Nelson and Charles and Ray Eames, the company produced pieces that would become classics of industrial design.
