Mid-Century Modern Lounge Chair Attributed to Selig Plycraft in Style of Eames

About the Item

This Eames-style, Naugahyde or leather-upholstered molded walnut lounge chair hails from the 1960s and is a classic reproduction of the iconic Eames lounge chair. Attributed to Selig Plycraft, this mid-century chair has gained a cult following, in its own right, for its well-crafted design and its exceptionally less expensive purchase value for those who still want to show appreciation for the iconic designs coming out of the 50’s and 60’s. It is in wonderful vintage condition with normal wear and tear. There are small nicks and dings to the base, the plywood has had its small imperfections repaired, and there is a slight discoloration to the arm pads and a few little pinhole pricks on left of seat but nothing outstanding, circa 1960s. See photos. Such a great comfy chair!! Although this Plycraft attributed lounge chair is deemed a knock-off of the Eames lounge chair, many people think the Plycraft lounge is much more comfortable. This particular rendition has a higher back and therefore is better suited to this generation of taller adults. It also tilts and is not in one lounging position. As far as designer determination is concerned, I’ve seen many of the Plycraft lounge chairs attributed to George Mulhauser; however, I have not found corroborating evidence that he designed any other lounge for Plycraft other than the Mr. Chair, which this is not. But……….no matter. This is one wonderful classic vintage mid-century modern chair! It is in great vintage condition. The aluminum five prong base has some age marks and there are a few little nicks and dings on the plywood, but it has its original saddle brown upholstery; but, therein lies another enigma, is it leather or Naugahyde? Whichever, it is in excellent vintage condition apart from a discoloration of the arm pad which seems to have happened to all of these particular chairs. All in all, we feel it is ready for you to use. If we can pry ourselves out of it long enough to ship! You should make it yours. Chair: Height – 40.75 inches Width – 33 inches Depth – 31 inches Seat height - 16 inches Arm height – 23 inches Inside seat width – 21 inches Inside seat depth – 21 inches Inside back height - 28 inches Weight – 38.2 pounds Crated size: Height – 43 inches Width – 38 inches Depth – 36 inches Weight – 150 pounds.

MCM Charles & Ray Eames for Herman Miller Aluminum Group High Back Chair

By Charles and Ray Eames, Herman Miller

Located in Topeka, KS

Marvelous vintage MCM (a.k.a. Mid-Century Modern) Charles & Ray Eames for Herman Miller Aluminum Group high back chair. Comprised of aluminum frame, 4 prong aluminum base, nylon feet, black swivel shaft, black powder coated aluminum arms, & has been reupholstered in an aubergine or eggplant faux suede. Beautiful condition, keeping in mind that this is vintage and not new so will have signs of use and wear. There are some minor scratches on the arms. Please see photos and zoom in for details. We attempt to portray any imperfections. Design Date, 1958. circa, 1960-1978. (We currently have three currently available but priced separately.) I can’t think of anything better than a vintage Charles & Ray Eames for Herman Miller Aluminum Group high back chair!!! Except maybe a purple one!! Aubergine Eggplant, Purple whichever!! WOW!!! It is comprised of an aluminum frame, 4 prong aluminum base with nylon feet, black swivel shaft, black powder coated aluminum arms, and it has been reupholstered in a lovely aubergine or eggplant faux suede fabric. Can we just say Design EXCELLENCE!!!! And not to mention extraordinary comfort! The dynamic design duo of husband and wife team Charles & Ray Eames focused on every detail and combined ergonomics, flexibility, constructive elements, highest quality materials, and attention to superior style which created a masterpiece that is highly sought after still today. The design was introduced in 1958 and is still in production! This vintage beauty will be phenomenal at a desk in an office setting, next to your bed or in the dressing area of your bedroom, or extra seating in the sitting room. It is versatile enough to blend in with many décor styles, but it’s bursting with Mid-Century Modern magnificence!! This treasure is exactly what the designer ordered! 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...
