Description from the seller

The quintessential office chair

EA219 model by Charles & Ray Eames

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

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

The five-star base, equipped with casters, ensures optimal comfort.

Designed by the renowned designers Charles and Ray Eames, the chair was manufactured 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 major licensees.

After the 1980s, the license remained exclusively with Vitra, making the early productions pre-dating it an exclusive vintage furniture piece like the one for sale.

Normal signs of wear with some small blemishes on the outer sides of the black leather
While the cushions and the leather are in excellent condition

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

It is possible to find the replacement part and fit it.

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

This model, now in production by Vitra, lists new at over 5k in this configuration.

If shipping is required, it will be carefully packaged.
