Description from the seller
The quintessential office chair
EA219 model by Charles & Ray Eames
This EA 219 swiveling director's chair, 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-star base with casters provides 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 the distribution and production of its furniture in Europe, with Swiss company Vitra and Italian company ICF as the main holders.
After the 1980s, the license remained exclusively with Vitra, making the early productions an exclusive vintage piece like the one for sale.
Normal signs of wear from time, some small缺 on the outer sides of the black leather
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 nevertheless talking about one of the icons of historic design office chairs.
This model, now in production by Vitra, lists for over 5k new in this configuration.
If shipping is involved, it will be carefully packaged.
