Eames "Time-Life" Executive Chair

$4,500.00

The great portfolio of Charles & Ray Eames is widely celebrated and serves as a model of inspiration for designers to this day. A momentous chapter in said portfolio is devoted to an important commission the Eames’ team received to design furniture for the Time Life Building in New York City which included a series of tables and most important; the famed Eames “Time Life” Executive Chair.

The Eames’ intentions were to capture the comfort of their popular Eames Lounge Chair in a more streamlined fashion using lessons learned from their Aluminum Group range. The shown model is a contemporary version of the chair as it exists today. This iteration chair features a swivel base equipped with tilt and manual height adjustment, perfect for achieving optimal comfort. While in the past Herman Miller produced a 4-star base on this design, the shown 5-star base is currently in production.

This Time-Life Chair is in very good condition with very minor wear considering its age. The original Chocolate Brown leather shows a light and handsome patina and each cushion maintains its support and plushness. Overall, this Eames Time-Life Executive Chair is a preserved design artifact showing only minor wear consistent with age and history. It’s ready for yet another life-time of use.
