Description
DAL chair by Charles and Ray Eames with an original La Fonda base. This base was designed for the La Fonda del Sol restaurant in New York in the sixties. The hull is made of fiberglass. Charles and Ray Eames were friends of architect Alexander Girard and were asked to design the "La Fonda" chairs. They were similar to the Eames fiberglass chair, but Girard requested a lower back so that it could be placed under the tables, so that the tables were visible. Alexander Girard designed every aspect of the Latin American-themed restaurant, from the matchbooks and menus to the space layout, tableware and front-of-house staff uniforms. The Eames office has designed a new base for the exclusive use of the La Fonda series. These are two mirrored columns, joined together to create a beautiful and unique pedestal. They were put on the market at the time of the restaurant's launch and remained in the catalog until 1974. In very good condition, still with the original synthetic leather upholstery, fiberglass hull and excellent base chrome plated La Fonda.
