Designers Charles and Ray Eames created the Executive Work Chairs—also known also as Time-Life chairs—in 1960. The chairs, along with the Eames walnut stools, took their places in the three ultramodern lobbies of the Time-Life Building.
In 1972, the executive chair made the news when notoriously fussy chess genius Bobby Fischer included this chair among his many demands for his legendary 1972 world championship match with Russian master Boris Spassky. When Spassky got a look at the chair, he demanded one for himself, and a second chair had to be shipped pronto to Iceland, where the match was being held.
