Description from the seller
The quintessential office chair
Model EA219 by Charles & Ray Eames
This swiveling executive chair EA 219, authentic and branded ICF for Herman Miller, is in excellent condition.
It features a high back, a chromed frame, and soft black leather upholstery.

Designed by the celebrated 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.

While the cushions and leather are in excellent condition
Only notable defect: the lever to raise and lower the seat is missing.

Eventually the replacement part can be found and installed
We are nevertheless talking about one of the icons of historic design office chairs
