As seen on TV
I hope the original poster found the info needed in time. For anyone not tired of discussing the seating unit in question, a leaflet from Herman Miller called "Matinee Icons: A Timeline Featuring the Seating Stars of Screen and Television" says, "When legendary Academy Award-winning director Billy WIlder wanted to take a nap on a piece of furniture that didn't 'look like a casting couch,' Charles Eames designed a chaise for him and Herman Miller made it. Through the years, a number of other directors, producers and set designers have given the nod to Herman Miller. Here are a few of those credits."
Disappointingly, the list shows only one onscreen chaise ("Frasier," 1999-2004), but a lot of Nelson coconuts ("Our Man Flint," 1966; "Lost in Space," 1965; etc.). An attempt to revive the coconut, perhaps?
Come on folks, wasn't there a chaise in "The Boston Strangler?" Or was that "The Boston Lounger?"
chaise
the Billy Wilder story is about that very narrow chaise (see link), not about the 670 lounge.

lounge + ottoman
also designed for Wilder.

And then there's "la" chaise
Don't tell me Billy Wilder was also behind that white fiberglass thing with the Henry Moore hole in it?
