The Eames Executive Chair, or the Time Life Chair as we much prefer to call it, has always been our favorite Eames design. Originally created for the Time & Life Building in 1960, the chair has developed an unmistakable aura over the decades. It is widely recognized for its historical significance, executive presence, and ingenious design, but to us it is simply a storied icon that we seek out whenever possible.
We were particularly excited to find this Time Life Chair because of its rarely seen brown-coated frame. Today, Herman Miller produces the chair with either a polished aluminum or black-coated frame, making this discontinued brown finish a far less common sight. Paired with its original Cigar leather upholstery, it creates a combination that is distinctly period-correct while remaining every bit as enduring today as it was in its production year of 1988.
We’ve worked to preserve the chair’s original materials wherever possible. Following a complete disassembly, every leather and hardware component was carefully inspected and polished to restore much of its original brilliance. The original leather retains a rich patina throughout, serving as a testament to the chair’s age, originality, and timelessness.

Scandinavian Modernism represents a body of work that has had a tremendous impact on the furniture industry. Danish, Swedish, and Norwegian designers and manufacturers placed great importance on material, form, and simplicity. Each of these qualities is present in this extendable teak dining table.
This teak dining table is elegant in both form and function. At its smallest length of 57 inches, the table can generously accommodate a group of four. Extending the table at each end brings its full length to 96 inches, providing dedicated place-setting space at both heads of the table and ample room for a group of six to gather comfortably.
To extend the table, the leaves pull outward with ease, allowing the center tabletop to settle into place. Each leaf slides neatly beneath the main tabletop for storage when not in use. Both operations can be completed easily by one person.
