Modernica Case Study Fiberglass Armchairs – Set of Four

A beautiful set of four iconic Case Study Fiberglass armchairs by Modernica, featuring the unmistakable organic shape of the classic mid-century modern shell chair.

The chairs combine dark charcoal-coloured fiberglass shells with warm wooden maple dowel legs and black metal cross-bracing. The colour is a mix of black, brown and grey. The contrast between the sculptural shells and the natural wood creates a timeless expression of mid-century design.

Modernica produces these chairs as part of its Case Study collection. Although the design is closely associated with Charles and Ray Eames, Modernica does not have the rights to market them under the Eames name and therefore uses the name Case Study Chairs. The shells are made using the original forms and machines that Herman Miller used until they stopped the production of the fiberglass production in 1989.

The set on auction were manufactured in 2010-15 and are in overall good condition with natural patina. They have been well taken care of. There are traces of use especially on the armrest and on the legs - see closeup pictures.

For safe shipping the set will be disassembled and carefully packed in 2-3 boxes. Will be shipped insured.

A fantastic opportunity to acquire four matching chairs with a strong architectural presence and a distinctive vintage aesthetic. Perfect around a dining table, in a creative workspace or as a statement piece in a modern interior.
