1970s “EA117” Desk chair by Charles & Ray Eames for Herman Miller, USA

A wonderful desk chair designed by charles & ray eames, manufactured by herman miller in the usa around 1970. This office chair is one of the most recognizable pieces of mid-century design! Designed in 1958 for the private residence of an art collector in columbus, indiana (usa). It is made with a technique that was unique at the time: stretching a panel of fabric or leather between two aluminium side members to create a strong, elastic seat. This adds to a wonderful seating comfort as the seat adapts to the body of the sitter. These chair is upholstered in high quality black fabric, which contrasts beautifully to the aluminium frame. Marked with the herman miller logo on the frame, as shown in photos. It remains in very good, vintage condition with minor wear consistent with age and use, preserving a beautiful patina.
