A wonderful vintage lounge chair by charles & ray eames from one of the first generations, bearing the labels of both herman miller and vitra.
update: the armrests have since been replaced with ones from the same production run (miller made by vitra) and now show only minimal signs of wear [no longer any noticeable marks on the armrests]—photos to follow.
in a set with the ottoman—and thus virtually unbeatable in terms of comfort—this design classic was created in 1956 at the request of billy wilder, who wanted a lounge chair that was both cozy and elegant yet modern.
- the chair swivels beautifully and is incredibly comfortable.
- both the ottoman and the chair are labeled (see photos)
- the wood is in very good condition; minor chips have been professionally repaired—it was described to me as santos rosewood. The invoice/documentation is available.
- the leather is still in good condition:
-> the ottoman has a very dark brown cushion with some superficial signs of wear (it has been photographed and, as seen in the pictures, blends beautifully with the chair’s leather)
-> the chair has a few signs of wear on the seat around the buttons [and some wear on the armrests—not anymore] (photographically documented; the chair was used exactly like this in our home; the leather can be refreshed by a upholsterer, [and the backrests can be reupholstered at some point—not necessary anymore, see update above] but it can be used as is)
- armchair dimensions: h 84 x w 84 x d 92 cm
- ottoman dimensions: h 42 x w 63 x d 56 cm this piece has an attribution mark,
