Admirals club eames lounge chairs
 

Does anybody know if these are the real thing or are they fakes/replicas?

Was at AC - C in DFW a few hours ago and was thinking the very same thing!

The chairs in the quiet room at ORD's H/K Admirals Club are the real deal, its a long story but while crawling around on the ground under the chair hunting for a lost contact lens I noticed the Herman Miller sticker.

<SIGH> dreaming of the day that the PHL or CLT Admiral Cllubs get these chairs...

Wow! They look so comfy! Hope we get them here in CLT!

They indeed are the real thing, made by Herman Miller in Michigan, since AA had an arrangement with the Eames design firm to create the old amenity kit design. I've had one at home for over 30-years (one of my first aspirational purchases when I could barely afford it) and enjoy sitting in the AA ones where they exist (also found in the JFK Flagship lounge but not LAX or ORD, though the main ORD Admirals Club has a few).

In later years the aspirational indulgence was a Panasonic massage chair, after experiencing them in several lounges around the world. Not only does it do a soothing massage, I can pretend I'm sitting on a first class airline seat when I've been grounded for a while!
