In 2001, continuing the Eames’ design ethos of continual, iterative advancements, Herman Miller reintroduced the original Eames Molded Shell Chair in a durable, 100 percent recyclable polypropylene which also included several bold new colors such as this playful "Red-Orange" scheme.

Charles (1907–1978) and Ray Eames (1912–1988) were American designers renowned for their groundbreaking contributions to architecture, furniture and industrial design and manufacturing. They are best remembered for their Mid-Century Modern furniture, built from innovative materials, including molded plywood, fiberglass-reinforced plastic, and aluminum, which offered consumers beautiful, functional, and inexpensive products.

Herman Miller was founded in 1905 as the Star Furniture Co. Initially the company produced furniture, especially bedroom suites, in historic revival styles. The company reformed as Herman Miller, Inc. in 1960 and was then led by architect George Nelson, who joined the firm as director of design in 1945. Over the next four decades, Nelson influenced Herman Miller through both his personal designs and the designers that he recruited, including Isamu Noguchi and Charles and Ray Eames.

This iconic, instantly recognizable DAR armchair is perfect for collectors and designers alike searching for an authentic early 2nd generation "Eiffel" chair. The shell is in 100% original, vintage condition whist the base has been powder-coated in a flat black tone perfectly off-setting the playful Red/Orange color of the seat. Make it yours today and elevate your space's aesthetic to new, colorful heights.
