Ray and Charles Eames - 1953 Edition Zenith Plastics SEAFORM GREEN Pale Gray GreenIn the late 1940s and early 1950s , Charles and Ray Eames' experiments with fiberglass chairs revolutionized the design of mass-produced chairs through their mastery of a technique that had not previously been introduced into furniture. Their influence on the history of design is considerable and unparalleled to this day, making their creations of great value. This Armchair was produced in the early years of publishing by Zenith Plastic for Herman Miller between 1952 and 1953.These two years of production are characterized by a technique that reinforced the hemp rope contour ( 1952 - 1953 only ).You will find the publisher's signature intact and visible under the seat. The shell is in perfect condition. The fiber is very dense and particularly translucent which distinguishes it from more recent Herman Miller productions.No restoration or transformation, the chair is in its original condition.
