Light Ochre Herman Miller Vintage Eames DSW Side Shell Chair

This gorgeous, vintage, original light ochre Eames side shell for Herman Miller on a newer, used DSW base really is a great version of the iconic shell chair. The distinctive colour has not been marred by time and sat on the walnut dowel this chair works perfectly as a living or dining chair. The shells were initially produced in 4 colours but with their success, more colours were made available. Dark ochre, especially like this excellent example, was introduced and proved to also be a success. Once Herman Miller took complete control of the production process, more colours were made available thus helping to establish the success the Eames shell chairs saw. Individual Characteristics The shell is in fantastic vintage condition with no chips or dents, only natural wear expected with being nearly 50 years old. The bold colour has not faded over time. The fibers are a little more noticeable than in the pictures, so please do not hesitate to ask for further images to see. The ‘S’ inside the circle indicates this shell was produced in Herman Miller’s Summit Plastics factory.
