Herman Miller Eames Aluminum Group Chair. Original Price: $3,125

Design Plus Gallery presents an Eames Office Chair on Casters from Herman Miller. The Eames Aluminum Group Collection (1958) began as a special project for Eero Saarinen and Alexander Girard, who needed seating for a home they were designing for industrialist J. Irwin Miller in Columbus, Indiana. The pair asked the Eameses to design light, mobile leisure chairs. At the time, Charles and Ray were exploring ways to use aluminum, which had been strengthened, refined and made more affordable since WWII. So, they constructed a lightweight, die-cast aluminum frame and set a sling in it – a “sitting pocket,” as they called it, which subtly conformed to the body’s shape. This completely new type of seat marked a departure from the idea of a chair as solid shell. This coveted seat is an iconic, legacy piece for your home office. It is made with the use of dark brown, their Java, leather with a polished chrome finish and casters that work on both hardwood and carpet alike. Is in good condition with visible surface wear that is consistent with usage.
