Classic Eames Time Life chair for Herman Miller in brown leather with a polished aluminum frame and legs. Originally designed in 1960 by Charles and Ray Eames for use in the lobby of the Time Life building in New York.
Recently re-upholstered in a beautiful supple brown leather, in-keeping with the color and integrity of other Time-life models. Some slight blemishes to the aluminum frame in-keeping with age. Chair's height and recline is fully adjustable and also swivels 360 degrees. Date on the base reads January 18, 1984. Timeless chair.
In 1972, the Time-life chair made the news when notoriously fussy chess genius Bobby Fischer included this chair among his many demands for his legendary 1972 world championship match with Russian master Boris Spassky. When Spassky got a look at the chair, he demanded one for himself, and a second chair had to be shipped pronto to Iceland, where the match was being held.
Chair above available now.
