The Eames Ottoman and Lounge Chair are two of the most iconic pieces of mid-century modern furniture design, but those pieces are getting pulled out of the mid-twentieth century and in to the modern era of retail. CostCo, the superstore known for its absurdly large bulk products, has recently introduced the Eames Ottoman and Lounge Chair onto its catalog.
Though CostCo indeed seems like an unlikely candidate for selling such a classic and well-regarded furniture pairing, it isn't entirely out of the blue. CostCo has offered home decor items for some time, though not all of its designs have been from such fine stock.
The Eames pieces are available for CostCo members only, and they are offered with free delivery.
