Description from the seller

The quintessential office chair

EA219 model 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 chrome frame, and soft black leather upholstery.

The five-star base with wheels 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 the distribution and production of its furniture in Europe, with Vitra, a Swiss company, and ICF, an Italian company, as the main holders.

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

Normal signs of wear with some small flaws on the outer sides of the black leather
While the cushions and the 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 a replacement part can be found and installed without issues.

We are nevertheless talking about one of the icons among historic design office chairs

This model, now in production by Vitra, costs new on the list at over 5k in this configuration

In case of shipment it will be carefully packed.
