Location:
Dayton, OH
Description:
Herman Miller Chair - Aluminum Outdoor Group - by Charles and Ray Eames (Gray) Making a return to the outdoors Originallydeveloped as an outdoor chair for the Eero Saarinen and AlexanderGirard-designed home of industrialist J. Irwin Miller, the Eames Aluminum Groupoffers maximum comfort with a minimal profile. Newly updated with a range ofhighly durable finish options including Outdoor Weave fabric, the AluminumGroup Lounge Chair, Side Chair, and Ottoman are once again ready to return totheir roots—outdoors. Take it outsideTo readythe chairs and ottoman for outdoor use, we developed a new fabric that would bedurable enough to weather the elements and still feel good against the skin.Outdoor Weave retains the spirit of the original 1958 polyester saran andbuilds off the technical capabilities of the Aeron chair’s Pellicle suspensionmaterial. Outdoor Weave combines a sturdy monofilament polypropylene forstrength and elasticity, with four multifilament polypropylene yarns to give ita great look and feel. It’s also recyclable and contains no harmful PVC. It isavailable in several tones selected to complement the choice of powder-coatedframes.CreativecraftThe assembly of the Eames Aluminum Group Outdoor is ascrucial an element of its design as how it feels to sit in. The Eameses notonly designed each element of the chairs and ottoman, but also the process bywhich they are crafted. We do it the same way today as it was done in 1958.Acontinuous piece of Outdoor Weave is fed between the aluminum ribs which arethen turned inside out and attached to the cross members. Because of thisprocess, the chair offers considerable comfort and support without any of thebulk or weight of a traditional upholstered chair. The fabric itself becomesthe seat, with a firm, flexible “sitting pocket” that conforms subtly to thebody’s shape.Durabilityand useWith one-piece, curved aluminum side ribs and a die-castaluminum base, the chair is strong, yet lightweight. To make it easy to move,the upper cross member doubles as a handle.Available with or without arms, the Eames Aluminum GroupSide Chair Outdoor is suitable for any location where a dining-height chair iscalled for and naturally complements our range of Eames Tables Outdoor.TheEames Aluminum Group Lounge Chair Outdoor pairs perfectly with the matchingEames Aluminum Group Ottoman, or works equally well as a cluster of multiplechairs around a low table for an informal sitting area. Product ConditionChairs are in good overall condition (Quantity of 7 remaining as of 4-14-2024). If a score had to be given to these chairs, they would probably get at least a solid 6 - 7 out of 10. The last (7) remaining chairs can be seen in the last 9 photos of the photos shown in this listing (all pics AFTER single chair pics on white background/backdrop). Fabric still stretched tight over aluminum frame. To this day, it is still super comfortable/cozy to sit in. These chairs were first started in production 14+ years ago (pre-2010), so it really shows you how well these chairs hold up over time, even with heavy outdoor use. Chair rotates a full 360 degrees without issue. No give/pull on the aluminum arm frames, they are still mounted tightly to the frame body. However, please keep in mind that while these chairs are in overall good condition, some of the chairs do have small flaws here and there – such as in some of the top-corners of the chairs (where your shoulders would rest), those parts in some chairs have some small, roughly quarter-sized areas, where the fabric has stretched & frayed a bit, and/or small holes. It is relatively minor imperfections, nothing that would affect the long-time durability of the chair. Can stick out a bit, though, to the eye. Doesn’t affect comfortabilityfactor in any noticeable way. In these areas (the chairs tend to only have this“stretching” effect in one area of the chair, and small in area) - the aluminumframe of the chair is exposed in these areas. This is purely a cosmeticimperfection from regular use on a 14+ year old chair. Other chairs don't havethis small separation of fabric, but may have a small to medium sizeddiscoloration / staining on the fabric of the chair. Again, this would bepurely a cosmetic defect. These chairs really stand the test of time, and cantake quite a beating. Other than that, the chairs are in relatively good conditionstill aside from the aforementioned defects in some of the chairs. The only other area worth mentioning is the feet of the chairs – on thevery bottom of each of the 4 “feet”, there may be signs of scuffs/scratchingfrom somebody (most likely) dragging the chair across the concrete withoutpicking it up first. These are very lightweight (21 lbs), and can be picked upby anyone really, so they are easy to continue preserving that part of thechair, if that’s something you are thinking about. It’s not something you wouldsee without picking the chair up and flipping it upside down first, to be ableto even notice. Doesn’t affect chair’s structural integrity in any serious way,very minor thing. Just wanted to make mention of it, though.Width (in): 23Length/Depth (in): 22Height (in): 33Brand: Herman MillerDesigner: Charles & Ray EamesMaterials used in production: Aluminum, “Outdoor Weave” Fabric, PolyesterSaran (Covering)Period Made: 2000-2009Manufacturing Location: / Made in America – Columbus, IndianaCondition: Vintage / Antique / Used Original Condition Unaltered > The item might be used,but the design and finish haven't changed since it was made.
