Charles & Ray Eames – EA 121 chair for Herman Miller

Rare version of the EA 121 chair, designed by Charles and Ray Eames for Herman Miller in 1958 and produced by Fehlbaum (later Vitra) in the 1960s. This is the first version from the iconic aluminum series – a model rarely seen, especially without armrests, unlike the more common EA 124.

The chair has a swivel function and an adjustable tilt bracket, making it both functional and comfortable. It is upholstered in original naugahyde artificial leather from Herman Miller, which still appears in excellent condition. The aluminum frame has age-related wear and patina, but is otherwise in very nice vintage condition.

An iconic and elegant chair from the 20th century, suitable for both the office and the living room.
