These mid-century modern classics feature:

Molded fiberglass shell with warm natural patina
Original vibrant orange padded vinyl upholstery in excellent, ready-to-use condition
Soft, supportive foam (not brittle or deteriorated)
Black H-bases with steel legs
Authentic Herman Miller “M” stamp under each shell
Originally owned by a Herman Miller employee
Purchased in 2017 from respected San Francisco dealer Local Strange and shipped to Seattle
These are not reproductions — they are true collector-grade originals with documented provenance. The sculptural form, eye-catching pop of orange, and exceptional comfort make them a standout in any room — dining, living, office, or gallery.

As a private collector (not a dealer), I’m parting with them only to make space and to keep great design in circulation.

Hard to find in this color, era, and condition — especially as a matching set. A rare opportunity for serious design enthusiasts.

Why Buy Vintage?
While anyone could spend the same on newly produced Eames chairs, few can acquire true originals like these. They carry a richer history, rare early details, and an authenticity that simply can’t be replicated.

For the right collector, they offer more than just design — they embody a story. And with the right custodian, this set can easily grace another 75 years of living, gathering, and building your own family legacy.

I'm not a dealer — just a passionate MCM collector out of space.

Will not separate – matched sets with original upholstery in this condition are exceptionally rare and significantly more valuable together See less
