For sale is this Eames lounge chair and ottoman by Herman Miller (model 670/671) in classic black leather and Brazilian Rosewood. Introduced in 1956 and still in production today, its stylish and comfortable too. Keen attention was paid to every detail of its restoration so it's now in absolutely gorgeous condition, certain to be the focal point of your living space.

OVERVIEW: This third-generation Eames lounger features Brazilian Rosewood shells (all matched/marked #883) with original black leather cushions in superb condition. The usage of Brazilian Rosewood was banned in the early 1990s, making rosewood models more rare and highly sought-after as they're no longer being produced...and the dark-and-rich rosewood shells are what sets this chair apart, the unique woodgraining pattern across the back panels is simply gorgeous. This one is stellar its not just a chair...its part work of art...part livable investment...part functional furniture ready to enjoy while lounging/viewing for the next 30+ years, then pass onto the next generation for their enjoyment.

CONDITION: The entire chair has just been meticulously gone over, with the rosewood shells being restored/conditioned to exude their lustrous sheen and aluminum bases/accents polished to shine brightly once again. All metal sliders (i.e. Domes of Silence) are in-tact and base pedestal bushings are sturdy/solid (ie. no wobbles).

LEATHER, SHOCKMOUNTS and SHELLS: This one features original black leather cushions in fantastic condition - just a small amount of original and classic wear, and I have reconditioned them with the same leather products used by vintage Ferrari owners wanting to retain their leather interiors in concours d'elegance condition. The entire chair has just been meticulously restored by yours truly, with the rosewood shells being restored to exude their deep-and-rich rosewood coloring, lustrous sheen and aluminum bases/accents polished to shine brightly once again too. All metal feet/sliders (i.e. Domes of Silence) are in-tact and base pedestal bushings are sturdy/solid (ie. no wobbles). Shockmounts have just been tested and replaced (a common frailty of older Eames chairs) too, I'm 6'3" 235lbs and the chair supports me just fine during my morning coffee (aka quality control) sessions.

RESTORATION HIGHLIGHTS AND BACKGROUND STORY: This particular chair was purchased from the original Seattle-area owner, and includes the original Herman Miller manufacturers label that I'll include with purchase - I opted to remove it from underneath the chair base and include within a protective plastic bag underneath the seat cushion to prevent damage/fading.

DIMENSIONS: 32.75" high x 31" wide x 32" deep ; seat height is 15" from floor.
