RARE SUEDE EA216 SOFTPAD CHAIRS, EAMES, HERMAN MILLER 1970'S

Only two left

More than fifty years after they were designed the Eames aluminium softpad chairs are still one of the most comfortable, high end chairs on the market. These are four  EA216 chairs from the seventies, finished with beautiful brown suede leather, which is extremely rare. They belonged to a banker and were probably made on special order. The chairs have recently received new cushioning, leaving the vintage leather intact. The EA216 swivels. 

This Herman Miller version is made of pure aluminium, unlike the ones produced by Vitra, that have a chromed frame, which is often damaged.  Over the many years the aluminium has obtained a beautiful dull patine, but if desired it can always be polished to shine like new,. 

The four chairs are all in a fabulous vintage condition with only some scratches on the armrests, which can be polished off, if you prefer to have them shiny. The suede is beautiful. All chairs are marked with the Herman Miller logo embossed in the frame.
