SeafoamEiffelPair.jpg
Vintage Eames Zenith Seafoam DSR Eiffel Chairs - Matched Pair
Click_for_more_images.jpg Design Charles and Ray Eames
DSR (Dining, Side Chair, Rod Base)
Vintage Original, 1950's
manufactured by Herman Miller®
Each Chair: 19" (48.2cm) w | 22" (56cm) d | 31.5" (81.2cm) h | 17.5" (44.5cm) seat height

Vintage Eames Chairs. Offered here is a pair of vintage Eames Zenith fiberglass seats on their vintage original eiffel bases. The color is the beautiful and rare Seafoam Green; a clean pastel color that embodies the modern era. The pair is typical of their age with lots of dense fibers. This is a spectacular example of the DSR in a rare color, and an even rarer all original matched pair. We are very impressed with the beauty of this set and we've taken lots of pictures for you to review; these chairs are destined for the discerning collector.

These particular chairs are first generation chairs, made in the zenith factory. This is evidenced by the lack of embossements and labels on the seats, as well as the lack of the alternate 'wide' mounting points which were eventually added to the form in later generations to accommodate the stacking base. The chairs are in remarkable condition for their 60+ years of age, the only flaw is a small area of crazing on one of the seats, where the seat bends and becomes the backrest. This is shown in the additional images. The Zenith chairs have a particularly high fiberglass content and this creates the potential for such fractures. One will notice that the Zenith seats seem to be able to flex much more than their later Herman Miller counterparts. The bases are in remarkable condition with no broken welds, repairs, or bent rods.

The DSR is the lightest of all of the Eames fiberglass chairs. The base was designed to be efficient in form and light weight, originally called the rod base, it is now affectionately refered to as the eiffel base by collectors. These seats and bases are original to each other, the screws mounting the seats to the bases are original, as are the shockmounts. The boot glides are the correct original style, but are new replacements.

Vintage Eames DKR-2. A 1950's Herman Miller "Chairs" poster described this version Eames chair: "The formed wire shell of these chairs is welded into a single, lightweight unit.

The earliest wire chairs, including this example, were stuffed with cattle body hair and were made at the Washington Blvd. address. This chair features the original tag and bears this information.

Offered here is an all original vintage Eames DKR-2; the seat and base are original to each other. The chair is in beautiful perfect condition, as though it just left the showroom in 1954.

Vintage Rosewood Eames Lounge and Ottoman 670/671

670/671 (Lounge and Ottoman)
Vintage Original, Dated 1978
manufactured by Herman Miller®
Lounge: 32.75" w | 32.75" d | 32" h | seat: 15" h
Ottoman: 21.5" w | 21.5" d | 17.25" h

Vintage Eames Lounge and Ottoman. The Eames lounge chair and ottoman is the culmination of Charles and Ray Eames' efforts to create comfortable and handsome lounge seating by using production techniques that combine technology and handcraftsmanship. Its heritage goes back to the molded plywood chairs pioneered by the Eameses in the 1940s. The Eames lounge chair and ottoman are considered among the most significant and collectible furniture designs of the 20th century and are part of the permanent collection of New York's Museum of Modern Art.

Charles Eames said his goal for the chair was the "warm, receptive look of a well-used first baseman's mitt." Every one is a special refuge from the strains of modern living.

The first lounge chair and ottoman, produced in 1956, was a birthday gift for friend Billy Wilder, the Academy Award-winning film director, and it made its public debut on Arlene Francis' Home show, which later became the Today show.

This particular example is in pristine condition, almost as if it just came out of the showroom in 1978. The lounge and ottoman are matched and featured in beautful oiled rosewood and supple black leather. All of the molded rosewood pieces are original, matched, and free of damage. The leather and upholstery is in like-new condition, original, plush, and comfortable. The swivel mechanism is smooth, and without wobbles. Overall this is the most pristine example we have seen in our eight years of collecting, restoring, and reselling.
