Tandem Sling by Ray and Charles Eames for Herman Miller, Four-Seat

About the Item

Ray and Charles Eames were commissioned to design the perfect utilitarian seating for the first international airports in 1962, created for comfort and convenience. For the modern-day eclecticists and discerning collectors, these pieces are heirlooms from the generation of the jet-set elite. Would be a fantastic addition to an office, waiting area, man cave, or living room. We have over 50 of these available, contact us for bulk discounts or rentals. The original black vinyl upholstery and aluminum frames are in fantastic shape for their age, only showing light surface indications of their use. Please contact us for a full condition report. Please inquire if you are interested in creating a custom airport chair or bench. We can refurbish, reupholster, and even reassemble to create any combination of one through four seaters, custom finishes of plating for the frames, fabrics or leathers for the seats and even a side table(s) in place of a seat. View our storefront to see how we have restored some of these with luxury Edelman Leather in 1, 2 and 3 seat examples.

Vladimir Kagan for Grosfeld House Rare Four-Seat Sculptural Sofa, 1950s
By Vladimir Kagan, Grosfeld House
Located in Los Angeles, CA
An extremely rare collectors piece, this large 99.5 inch wide four-seat sculptural sofa by Vladimir Kagan for Grosfeld House, designed and produced within the 1950s in the United States, is fully original including its original fabric and sculptural walnut base, and is documented in early Grosfeld House advertisements. Coming from the original single owner's estate along with an entire set of 1950s Vladimir Kagan for Grosfeld House furniture and a pair of Kagan-Dreyfuss (also 1950s) caned armchairs. As you can see in the photos, the set includes this sofa, a swivel lounge chair, set of nesting tables, caned cabinet, desk (now sold), desk chair and pair of caned armchairs (by Kagan-Dreyfuss). Contact us for more details on the other items available if you wish to create a set. Vladimir Kagan's works have been highly valued by collectors and art / design investors, and his earlier works in the 1950s for Grosfeld House and Kagan-Dreyfuss are among the most sought after by 'purist collectors' like myself. Why do I prize his 1950s works above all else? I can write a short book on this, but one easy to explain reason is that this was a period unlike the rest of his career, where items produced in this time are hallmarked within that period - a distinction that his later works lacked. Essentially, everything post the early 60s blended together with the decades thereafter. A novice Kagan collector is content with anything by Kagan, even items produced by Directional and American Leather Company...
