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.

The five-spoke base, equipped with casters, guarantees optimal comfort.

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.

After the 1980s, the license remained exclusively with Vitra, making the earliest productions an exclusive vintage piece of furniture like the one for sale.

Normal signs of wear over time, a few minor flaws on the outer sides of the black leather
While the cushions and leather are in excellent condition

Only notable defect: the lever to raise and lower the seat is missing.
Currently 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 in this configuration

If shipping is required, it will be carefully packaged.
