About the Item

A very rare and rather exceptional sofa compact by Charles Eames for Herman Miller. This example is special for a few reasons. It is a very early model as evidenced by the centre metal bracket. It is also a folding example. Later pieces were fixed in place. This is most likely the best example of a vintage Sofa Compact available for sale. A true museum example.
