Eames 670 Lounge Chair 671 Ottoman Blue Leather Walnut Rosewood Herman Miller
Eames 670 Lounge Chair 671 Ottoman Blue Leather Walnut Rosewood Herman Miller

Eames 670 Lounge Chair 671 Ottoman Blue Leather Walnut Rosewood Herman Miller

By Charles and Ray Eames, Herman Miller

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. A commission, which they acquired from the government during WWII to produce molded plywood splints and stretchers, launched a career producing iconic mid-century modern furnishings which are still fresh and sought after today. The Eames and their association with Herman Miller were the partnership of the century. If you want to learn more about Charles and Ray please visit Eames Office, the Eames Official website. Herman Miller started life as Star furniture...
