Description from the seller

The quintessential office chair

EA219 model by Charles & Ray Eames

This EA 219 swiveling executive 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 with casters 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 Swiss company Vitra and Italian company ICF as the main holders.

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

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

One 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 mounted without problems.

We are nevertheless talking about one of the iconic 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.
