A rare and historically significant example of mid-20th century modern design: an original EA117 office chair (known as the EA335 in the United States), designed by Charles and Ray Eames for Herman Miller. This exceptional chair comes directly from the project for IBM's headquarters, a commission in which the Eames personally participated, making it a unique piece, a witness to the history of design and business. It features a unique two-tone upholstery, blue and lavender, on both the front and back, highlighting its sculptural form. The structure, armrests, and five-star base are made of pressure-moulded aluminium, illustrating the Eames' mastery of industrial materials and ergonomic design. The functional seat mechanism offers a backward tilt adjustment and continuous height adjustment. It bears the original manufacturer's label from Herman Miller and the IBM label, confirming its authenticity and provenance. This EA117 model is emblematic of its ergonomic innovation and sculptural elegance. This unique example, featuring the IBM label and its distinctive two-tone upholstery, represents a rare opportunity to acquire a unique Herman Miller executive chair in Europe. Dimensions: Height 90 cm, Width 58 cm, Depth 62 cm, Seat Height 46 cm.
