Set of 6 charles and ray eames fiberglass "la fonda" armchairs, h. Miller this chairs are one of two new fiberglass chairs charles and ray eames designed in 1961, inspired by request from alexander girard, who needed seating for his new manhattan restaurant, la fonda del sol. Some collectors call these “la fonda” chairs after the restaurant where they were first installed. Because girard wanted chairs with seat backs no higher than dining table tops, charles and ray eames designed the eames la fonda arm chair with a lower back than their original molded fiberglass chairs. Along with the new shells, charles and ray devised a new contract base, which combined all of the functions of a contract base in two symmetrical forms that could be joined together. The four vertical elements featured lightweight construction while still providing strength and stability to the solid cast. We offer custom restoration and special reupholstering on request. Our atelier enhances italy's excellence by providing dedicated and tailor-made customization services. this piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
official proof of authenticity,
however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity
issues arising from misattribution less
