Herman Miller – Charles & Ray Eames – Stoel – DSW – Hout, Glasvezel, Staal – Herman Miller – DSW

A rare early Charles & Ray Eames fiberglass DSW side chair, produced by Herman Miller in the USA and dating from approximately 1959–1962. The dating is supported by the early Cincinnati Milacron mould mark, often referred to by collectors as the “Mercedes” mark because of its distinctive shape. This mark is associated with early fiberglass production.The blue fiberglass shell has a beautiful, clearly visible fiber structure and retains its original vintage character, with age-related patina and light wear consistent with its age. The chair has been minimally restored, with the aim of preserving as much of the original material and appearance as possible.
