At TROC Leuven, we curate second-hand Eames that blends comfort, innovation, and lasting quality. These pieces were created to work beautifully in real homes, which is why they remain relevant today. Choosing Eames means choosing thoughtful materials, human-centered ergonomics, and a look that plays well with modern and vintage décor. In our Herent showroom near Leuven, you will find well-kept examples, fairly priced and ready to enjoy for many years.
Why choose second-hand Eames?
• Sustainability and circular design
Buying pre-owned Eames keeps great design in circulation and reduces waste. Quality materials like molded plywood, aluminum, and fiberglass age with dignity, so a second life is both wise and responsible.
• Unique character and story behind every piece
Patina on leather, glowing plywood, and gentle wear on shells give second-hand Eames personality. These details make spaces feel warm, lived in, and authentic.
• Affordable quality without compromise
Original manufacturing standards deliver long service. Pre-owned pricing lets you access Eames craftsmanship while staying within budget.
• Two-day reservation and delivery anywhere in Belgium
Found the right chair or console? Reserve it for two days while you decide. We deliver across Belgium with a distance-based fee, so your Eames arrives safely at your door.

Buying tips for second-hand Eames
• Measurement and fit
Check seat height for dining tables, especially with older shells or glides that changed over time. Measure doorways and stairwells for lounge pieces. For work chairs, confirm the desk height and arm clearance.
• Material condition
For molded plywood, inspect veneer edges and shock mounts for stability. For fiberglass shells, look for even color and intact fibers, accepting light surface texture typical of originals. For plastic shells, check for cracks near the mount points and confirm the base fits securely. Leather on lounge chairs should feel supple and even, with seams intact and foam supportive.
• Matching style with space
Eames designs love contrast. Pair a plywood lounge chair with a wool rug and a calm floor lamp. In minimal interiors, choose neutral shells, then introduce color through textiles. In smaller Leuven apartments, a single Eames chair beside a compact table creates a focused reading corner without crowding.
• Restoration or care suggestions
Clean plastic shells with mild soap and a soft cloth. Condition leather a few times per year and avoid direct heat. Dust plywood with a dry cloth and use coasters on wood tables. Tighten screws gently and replace worn glides to protect floors. These simple habits keep Eames pieces looking sharp.
How to style your Eames
Start with balance. If your sofa is soft and deep, choose an Eames plywood lounge chair to add structure. For dining rooms, mix shell chairs in two tones, then tie them together with a natural linen runner. Add a slender table lamp to create pools of light that highlight lines and textures. In Herent homes with open-plan layouts, zone an Eames Lounge Chair with a round wool rug and a low table to hold books and tea. For office corners, pair an aluminum group chair with a simple oak desk, then add a warm task light from our Lighting category. In living rooms, a wire-base coffee table echoes the geometry of shell chair bases, creating a calm rhythm.
Consider complementary categories to complete your setup. Our Seating collection includes sofas and armchairs that sit well beside Eames icons. Explore Tables for coffee and side pieces with the right height and scale. Browse Decoration for ceramics and art that soften clean lines without clutter.

FAQ
Do you deliver Eames furniture outside Leuven?
Yes. We deliver Eames pieces across Belgium. Delivery fees depend on distance and item size.
Can I reserve an Eames chair or table?
Yes. You can reserve Eames items for two days while you confirm measurements, finishes, or layout plans.

Can you help source a specific Eames model or color?
We can. Tell us the model, base type, and preferred finish. We monitor incoming stock and will alert you when a match arrives.
Choosing finishes and bases
Base types influence comfort and character. Eiffel wire bases feel light, dowel bases add warmth, and swivel bases suit desks or creative workstations. For dining, consider armless shells for easy movement. For reading corners, a plywood lounge chair brings sculptural presence without bulk. Color matters too. Soft neutrals blend with Belgian light, while a single bright shell becomes a cheerful accent in kitchens or studios.
Small-space strategies
Eames designs shine in compact rooms. Use two shell chairs with a small round table to create a flexible dining zone. Place a low wire-base table as a landing spot in an entryway. Mount shelves above an Eames storage unit to add vertical capacity without heavy furniture. Keep surfaces edited, then add one textured throw or cushion for warmth.
Sustainability in practice
Buying second-hand Eames supports circular design and reduces the need for new production. We encourage thoughtful care and repair, from replacing glides to refreshing cushions. When your needs change, you can return pieces for resale, keeping high-quality furniture in use around Herent, Leuven, and beyond.
