Description from the seller

Office chair par excellence

Model EA219 by Charles & Ray Eames

This swiveling, directional chair EA 219, authentic and branded ICF for Herman Miller, is in excellent condition.

It features a high backrest, a chrome frame, and soft black leather upholstery.

The five-spoke base with casters ensures optimal comfort.

Designed by the renowned designers Charles and Ray Eames, the chair was produced by the American company Herman Miller.

Until the 1980s, Herman Miller licensed distribution and production of its furniture in Europe, with the Swiss company Vitra and the Italian company ICF as main holders.

After the 1980s, the license remained exclusively with Vitra, making the earlier productions a vintage piece of furniture, such as the one for sale.

While the cushions and leather are in excellent condition

The only notable defect is that the lever to raise and lower the seat is missing. At the moment it is at the standard base height

Eventually, the replacement part can be found and installed

We are nonetheless talking about one of the icons of historical design office chairs

This model, now in production by Vitra, lists new at over 5k as configured
