Parchment Herman Miller Original Vintage Eames DSW Side Shell Chair

Where can an original parchment Eames Herman Miller side chair on a used Maple DSW base be used? The versatility of the vintage shell says it can be anywhere. Parchment is the perfect neutral colour for any design and with its complimentary maple base, it is a great example of a statement piece and iconic design. The success of these chairs has been proven by the continuous production time they have seen. From their origin in the 1950s, new bases, upholstered variants and even adapted variants such as the La Fonda ensured these chairs have cemented themselves in the history books with their iconic and versatile design. Upholstered versions were introduced in the late 1950s when Alexander Girard was commissioned to help design them and new bases found their way under the shells over the many years they have been produced. Individual Characteristics The shell does display some signs of its age and use with a crack present at the top of the back rest (further pictures available upon request), but the general finish of the shell is very nice with a strong fibrous look. The ‘H’ logo on this shell indicates it is an early Herman Miller shell in the early stages of them finding suitable factories to produce the shells.
