In February 1957, Philadelphia was enveloped by a devastating enigma that had tormented the metropolis for years. Referred to as the "Boy in the Box," the incident involving a young boy's discovery in a paper container has confounded detectives and fans of true crime. Even after many attempts to reveal the facts, the boy's name and the events leading to his demise still elude discovery.

Since Charles and Ray Eames first revealed the Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman to the public via an appearance on NBC back in 1956, the two-piece set has grown into a mid-century icon thanks to its sleek molded plywood curves, leisurely reclined position and sumptuous leather that Charles once said had “the warm receptive look of a well-used first baseman’s mitt.” Now, nearly 70 years later, Herman Miller has made the Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman available in its most sustainable iteration yet: one that swaps out its standard leather for a bamboo-based leather alternative that cuts the piece’s materials’ carbon footprint by up to 35%, a drop that’s achievable due to bamboo’s rapid growth, CO2 absorption rate and lesser need of water than other naturally-grown plants.
