Vintage Eames DAR armchair – Herman Miller / Fehlbaum production

Superb DAR chair by Charles & Ray Eames, made of moulded fibreglass, featuring its iconic Eiffel base in chrome-plated steel. This example bears a Herman Miller / Fehlbaum-Produktion label under the shell, indicating European production under licence from Herman Miller. The shell is in a beautiful anthracite grey, with the texture and visible fibres characteristic of older fibreglass productions. It shows a lovely vintage patina, along with some marks and scratches related to its age, which contribute to the character of the piece. The chair is stable and structurally sound, with its fixings and dampers under the shell. A particularly interesting piece for enthusiasts of 20th-century design and Eames furniture, both for decoration and as a collectible item.
