Seller's Notes:Designed by Charles and Ray Eames, this iconic modern chair appeared as a prototype in MoMA’s 1948 International Competition for Low-Cost Furniture Design, and it’s been in continuous production – and enjoyed in homes, offices, and restaurants worldwide – since 1950. The Eameses believed that “design is a method of action,” and they continually updated their work as new materials became available. Continuing their legacy, Herman Miller now makes this chair in recyclable plastic or with post-industrial recycled plastic. “The chair that Charles and Ray were designing,” says grandson Eames Demetrios, “is the chair that’s made tomorrow.” This barely used set of chairs was in our office and was only used in a (occasional) meeting area and never used for eating so they are extremely clean with only one small nick on the metal chair base. They are in great shape and very comfortable.

Charles and Ray Eames adapted molding techniques developed during World War II to produce their classic shell chair’s simple, gracious form. In 2001, continuing the Eames’ design ethos of continual, iterative advancements, Herman Miller reintroduced the original Eames Molded Shell Chair (1950) in a durable, 100 percent recyclable polypropylene. In 2022, we’ve enhanced it once more by crafting select recycled chairs with 100 percent post-industrial recycled plastic. The subtle matte texture of the re-engineered plastic shell maintains the soft tactility of the original design, available in your choice of vintage and contemporary colors, with three leg materials and styles and leveling floor glides. This modern side chair with a seat pad comes with a cushion upholstered in your choice of textiles.
