Introducing a rare, vintage Model EA 116 Swivel Chair designed after Eames couple for their now iconic 'Aluminium Group'.

In great condition with slight signs of use this EA 116 Chair is perfect for collectors and designers alike searching for furniture in the manner of Herman Miller-made 116.
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.
As comfortable as it is iconic this Model EA 116 Swivel Chair features a custom-made headrest in a fabulous charcoal cotton fabric that is easily removed when not in use. Perfect for collectors and designers alike searching for an authentic Herman Miller 116 Chair this chair is ideal for both home and office settings. Make it yours today before it's gone forever.
