Set of 4 vintage "Dkr-2" wire chairs by Eames for Herman Miller, 1960

Set of 4 "model DKR-2" chairs were designed in the 1950s by Ray & Charles Eames for Herman Miller and produced by Vitra. In 1951, Charles and Ray Eames met the challenge of making a reasonably priced, quality chair that was light yet strong. Their solution – the Eames wire chair. It featured a sculpted look, comfort, and practicality which made it an immediate hit. The airy silhouette of the wire chair is achieved by wires, cross-woven and positioned on a bent-wire, welded chrome base, also called the ‘Eiffel Tower’ base. The chair’s organic shape fits the contours of the body making the wire chair a perfect choice for residences and workplaces alike. The wool fabric bikini-pad contributes to the seating comfort. These chairs are authentic from the 1960s, manufactured by Herman Miller. The chairs are in good vintage condition, with normal signs of age and use. The chrome has some rust spots.
