Description from the seller

Eames DAX – Herman Miller / Vitra – Early 1970s – Dark Ochre – Rare Fiberglass Armchair

Description
This early-1970s Eames DAX in Dark Ochre is a piece that seems to hold sunlight in its fibers. The shell, rich texturing, embodies the golden era of Herman Miller & Vitra’s European fiberglass production. Its tone—neither yellow nor brown but something warm in between—evokes autumn afternoons, polished wood, and old studios filled with sketches.
More than a chair, it is a fragment of design history: sculptural, rare, and deeply expressive.

Details
Deep structurally rich fiberglass
Large shock mounts with Herman Miller markings
V-shaped logo in relief within the shell.
Original Mobilier International Paris label
100% authentic European Herman Miller / Vitra manufacture

Condition
Rare, excellent condition with no cracks, nothing. Black lacquered legs show a soft, natural wear. Glides in very good original state.

Shipping
Secure, careful packaging with tracking.
