Herman Miller Furniture

American

No other business of its kind did more than the Herman Miller Furniture Company to introduce modern design into American homes. Working with legendary designers such as Charles and Ray Eames, George Nelson and Alexander Girard, the Zeeland, Michigan-based firm fostered some of the boldest expressions of what we now call mid-century modern style. In doing so, Herman Miller produced some of the most beautiful, iconic and, one can even say, noblest chairs, sofas, tables and other furniture ever.

Founded in 1923, Herman Miller was originally known for grand historicist bedroom suites: heavily ornamented wood furniture that appealed to a high-minded, wealthier clientele. The company — named for its chief financial backer — began to suffer in the early 1930s as the Great Depression hit, and D.J. De Pree, the company’s CEO, feared bankruptcy. In 1932, aid came in the form of Gilbert Rohde, a self-taught furniture designer who had traveled widely in Europe, absorbing details of the Art Deco movement and other modernist influences. After persuading De Pree that the growing middle class required smaller, lighter household furnishings, Rohde set a new course for Herman Miller, creating sleek chairs, tables and cabinetry that were the essence of the Streamline Moderne style.

Rohde died suddenly in 1944. The following year, De Pree turned to George Nelson, an architect who had written widely about modern furniture design. Under Nelson’s leadership, Herman Miller would embrace new technologies and materials and audacious biomorphic forms

Some of the pieces the company produced are now emblems of 20th century American design, including the Eames lounge chair and ottoman and Nelson’s Marshmallow sofa and Coconut chair. Such instantly recognizable furnishings have become timeless — staples of a modernist décor; striking, offbeat notes in traditional environments.

Eames 670 Lounge Chair 671 Ottoman Blue Leather Walnut Rosewood Herman Miller
By Herman Miller, Charles and Ray Eames
Located in Topeka, KS
Fascinating vintage Eames 670 lounge chair and 671 ottoman in bright blue leather for Herman Miller. The seat frame is comprised of walnut, aluminum 5 prong base with black painted lower, and black shaft and the ottoman is comprised of a Rosewood frame, 4 prong base with black painted lower, and black shaft. This is a married set so please see NOTE below for further information. Beautiful condition, keeping in mind that this is vintage and not new so will have signs of use and wear. And this one has wear, so if you like perfect this is not the one for you. The chair frame has been oiled and all parts have been cleaned and assembled. The leather has been repaired and some buttons have been repaired with the leather from under the arms. We have supported the leather by gluing canvas to the underside as there were many scrapes and cuts in the original leather. We also mixed a matching leather coloring to use on the worn spots! It was then oiled and conditioned. The ottoman had some minor chip repairs to the Rosewood shell. Please see photos and zoom in for details. We attempt to portray any imperfections. Circa, 20th Century. NOTE: The seat, arms, back, and ottoman cushions and ottoman base are all 2nd generation determined because cushions are feather filled, wood is 5 ply rosewood, has screw on feet and not push on, and the clips match second gen clips; however, arms have only 3 upper arm screw holes which is a sign of 1st generation which makes me wonder but?? It’s a puzzle. The chair itself, wood portion and base are 5th generation determined by the walnut 7 ply frame which has a stamped date of March 29, 1999; however, the cushion clips look like 2nd generation clips…More puzzlement! This is definitely a treasure to observe, study, & love! Can we get a drum roll please…. Here it is! The chair and ottoman of a lifetime! This iconic and sought-after mid-century modern brainchild of Charles and Ray Eames was the product of years of research and development. It was first produced by Herman Miller in 1956. Even then it was considered iconic and was premiered to the public with great flourish on the NBC’s Home show while the Eames were being interviewed by Arlene Francis. It was regaled with lights and curtains and the whole nine yards! If you search online, you can find this unveiling to watch for yourself. This particular set is done in bright blue leather with button detail on the removeable seat and back, walnut frame, & black shaft. The chair has the famed 5 prong base with brushed aluminum top and black painted lower and the ottoman has a removeable cushion, 4 prong base with brushed aluminum top, black painted lower, and black shaft. We considered selling the ottoman and chair separately since the wood is unmatching however in our opinion, this set was brought together and married at some point and have probably been through a lot together over the years. We all know marriage takes commitment, so that just didn’t feel right! And besides…what’s a little “generation gap” when it comes to a good marriage? LOL… Seriously, there is something endearing about the different stages in the life of this “pair” and wanting to keep it original so it can live on for generations to come… it just adds to the charm. Not to mention we love the history held in vintage pieces. Just imagine the fun and enjoyment derived by sitting in this chair and the joy Eames’ would feel knowing they had in part provided that. See above note for specific details. This dynamic duo will look fabulous in ANY room of your home and is sure to be the topic of wonderful conversation! Charles Eames was born in St. Louis, Missouri in 1907. Ray Kaiser Eames was born in Sacramento, California in 1912. They met at Cranbrook Academy of Art in Michigan and were married in 1941. They moved together to California and continued their design work they began together at Cranbrook.

Beautiful condition, keeping in mind that this is vintage and not new so will have signs of use and wear. There is a small rough spot on the tabletop edge and a small ding in its surface. We have touched up both. Please see photos and zoom in for details. We attempt to portray any imperfections. Circa, November 26, 2007. Herman Miller Magnificence!!! We have a classic vintage universal pedestal base table designed by the iconic duo of designer’s husband and wife team Charles and Ray Eames to offer to you. The tabletop is round with a gorgeous dark cherry finish, and it’s mounted on the famous universal pedestal base which they designed to accommodate many different length tabletops.

Goes to show the genius in the design that is still sought-after over the years! And talk about versatility! It would be great in an office as a conference table, or it would be equally as fabulous in your dining or game room. And, with Eames’ system approach to design, the table breaks down for easy shipping and moving! It is a beautiful and classic table that will host many options of dining or office chairs. It’s definitely an AWESOME piece of furniture thanks to the genius that was Charles and Ray Eames. Charles Eames was born in St. Louis, Missouri in 1907.
