Orange Herman Miller Original Vintage Eames DSW Side Shell Chair

So, you need a dining chair. This original orange Herman Miller Eames fiberglass side shell chair on a used, newer, light oak DSW Dowel base would be perfect. The orange shell has developed a rather unique patina with fantastic clearly seen visible fibers which are complimented by the golden oak of the DSW base. The Eames shell series chairs really do not need any introduction. With early prototypes beginning in the late 1940's, production began on the Eames' dream of 'chairs for the masses' in 1950 with the arm and then the sides later in 1952/53. The original and vintage fiberglass chairs were so versatile and so modern that they only increase in popularity as the years go by. Fiberglass originals always have a base colour and gorgeous 'visible' fibers in the shell itself. Upholstered version were introduced by Herman Miller a little later on using fabrics and textiles designed by the esteemed designer Alexander Girard. Individual Characteristics. Being a used, vintage example, the shell does display some natural signs of aged patina, but the overall condition is still very good with no signs of cracks or dents. The ‘C’ with the star logo on the underside of the shell indicates this shell originates from Herman Miller’s Cincinnati factory.
