Description
Eames Wire Chair by Herman Miller designed by Charles and Ray Eames At A Glance: First introduced in 1951, the Eames Wire Chair was an immediate hit. Distinctively, unmistakably Eames, this chrome metal chair has stood the test of time and is as popular today as it was half a century ago. The airy silhouette of this seat is made of cross-woven wires and positioned on a bent-wire, welded "Eiffel Tower"" base. The Wire Chair adds artistic interest - and functional seating - to residences and workplaces alike. What's To Like: For style, the Wire Chair gets an ""A"" - it's got a beautifully exposed structure. Cross-woven wires and a bent-wire welded base make the Eames wire chair strong and lightweight, and the optional leather seat pad gives you more comfort for your posterior. What's Not to Like: The leather pad goes a long way towards making the Wire Chair a comfortable seat, but it still won't be a comfortable long-term (read: 1 hour) seat. You'll get a sore bum if you stay put for long. The Bottom Line: A prime example of the Eameses use of welded wire, the Wire Chair is small, light, and has a beautifully crafted Eiffel Tower base for added character. All that remains is for your to choose whether or not you want a seat pad, and what color you'd like.

Dimensions: Overall: 32.75"" h x 19.75"" w x 21.25"" d Seat height: 16.5""In the early 1950s, the Eames office investigated bent and welded wire as the basis for furniture. Inspired by trays, dress forms, and baskets, the office developed a variety of pieces, including Eames wire chairs.They made the rim of the chair a lighter-gauge wire and doubled it for stability to achieve strength requirements, an organic shape, and cost restraints. This advance won them the first American mechanical patent for design.The chair was marketed by Herman Miller until 1967 and reintroduced in 2001."
