The lounge chair set enjoyed its first wide scale public appearance that same year on the TV set of the Arlene Francis' 'Home Show' that later became known as the “Today Show” that is in broadcast to this day. There have been numerous TV and movie appearances for the chair since. The Eames Lounge Chair appeals to people for a variety of reasons.
