Bases for Restoring Vintage Eames Fiberglass

All of our bases and components are made in the United States and are locally crafted where we have direct control of the quality of the production, materials, and finishes. Our bases are the perfect complement in the restoration of a vintage Eames seat. Instead of throwing that vintage fiberglass shell in the trash, rescue it with one of our bases and participate in preserving a legacy in Modern design.

Eames La Fonda Chair Series

The La Fonda Chair was designed by the Eames and Alexander Girard exclusively for the La Fonda Del Sol Restaurant in the Time-Life Building in New York City.

Alexander Girard specifically requested that the seat backs not extend above the table height. When the chairs were eventually offered to the general public the full height seat was added by Herman Miller as an option, as with this example.
