Eames

Tandem Sling Seating

• No volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are emitted

during manufacturing.

system and can be recycled into everything from
automotive components to carpet padding at the
end of their current life.

minimize waste.

packaging can be replaced with reusable
shipping blankets.
