Authentic Herman Miller Eames Molded Fiberglass Side Chair – Ultramarine Blue / White Wire Base

Designed by Charles and Ray Eames, the Eames Molded Fiberglass Side Chair is one of the most recognisable pieces of mid-century modern furniture ever produced.

This example features a striking Ultramarine Blue moulded fibreglass shell paired with the iconic White Wire “Eiffel” Base. Unlike the later polypropylene versions, the fibreglass shell has distinctive visible fibres and natural surface variation that give each chair its own character.

Originally introduced in 1950, the Eames shell chair was created around the idea of producing a comfortable, sculptural chair from a single moulded shell. Herman Miller later reintroduced the fibreglass version using an improved production process while retaining the distinctive texture and appearance of the original design.

This is an authentic Herman Miller example, manufactured in the USA in 2015, with Herman Miller, Eames Office and Eames signature markings moulded into the underside of the shell.

A highly collectable Eames design and a great statement piece for dining, home, office or commercial interiors. This Eames fibreglass Version is very rare.
