Login to ask a questionWhere can a pair of original white Eames Herman Miller side chairs on new, used black DSW bases be used? The versatility of the vintage shells say anywhere. White is the perfect neutral colour for any design and with their wonderfully contrasting black base, they are a great examples of an iconic statement piece.
The success of these chairs has been proven by the continuous production time they have seen. From their origin in the 1950s, new bases, upholstered variants and even adapted variants such as the La Fonda ensured these chairs have cemented themselves in the history books with their iconic and versatile design. Upholstered versions were introduced in the late 1950s when Alexander Girard was commissioned to help design them and new bases found their way under the shells over the many years they have been produced.
Individual Characteristics
The shells are in a rather aged condition and display a rough finish on the surface from where the original gel coating has been slightly worn away. This has not exposed fibers, but has left them rough to the touch. There are no signs of chips or dents on the body of the shells but the edges have natural wear expected with age and the white has not been faded over time. There is some age shown through some ingrained dirt, but this can be reduced with a bit of cleaning.
The ‘S’ inside the circle indicates these shells originate from Herman Miller’s Summit Plastics Factory.
