Vintage Eames Style Chair and Ottoman Black Leather and Rosewood:
$550.00
In the style of the famous Herman Miller lounge chair designed by Charles and Ray Eames, comes this vintage lounge chair and ottoman by Frank Doerner of Canada.
The sides, bottoms and back are surrounded by beautiful and glowing molded plywood with lovely light highlights, just like the Plycraft or Selig style lounge chairs of the era.
Stamped into the hardware of the base is the following: \"RD 1975, Frank Doerner, Pat. No. 3,935,613, Northfield Metal Products, Waterloo, Ontario, Canada.\"
The leather is black, in good condition, the seat has a couple of short surface-only cracks and creases from use. There are some deeper cracks in the ottoman, but again surface only. Overall, the chair and covering are fully usable with many years of serviceable use left as you can see in the photos.
About 36\" high at the back, and the seat is about 32\" to the outside of the arms. Wood has some signs of age and use, but overall is in excellent condition. The ottoman has a very small piece of the veneer (V shaped 1/16\" wide x 1/4\" long) missing on the side, but is it hardly noticeable. All other wood is intact and in beautiful condition.
Comfort and style are the hallmark of all of these so-desirable retro lounge chair sets, that have that subtle industrial design edge. This one is no exception, and provides an affordable alternative to the higher end Herman Miller chair ($5-6K for an equivalent original), while looking almost exactly like it.
