Eames Time Life Chair in Grey Leather for Herman Miller, 1980s
By Charles and Ray Eames, Herman Miller
Located in Los Angeles, CA
Classic Eames Time Life chair for Herman Miller in light grey leather with a polished aluminum frame and legs made in Los Angeles, CA. Originally designed in 1960 by Charles and Ray Eames for use in the lobby of the Time Life building in New York.
