Attention Collectors! 1st Generation Aluminum Group Lounge Chair. Designed by Charles and Ray Eames for Herman Miller in 1957 and first produced in 1958. This collector-quality example in charcoal Naugahyde (high-quality vinyl fabric) is completely original and in astounding condition. We personally removed this tilt/swivel chair from the original owner's Westwood home in Los Angeles. It's the perfect candidate to anchor your room or space especially for the discerning mid-century modern enthusiast.

This is a Model 642 Reclining Chair With Pillow and Arms. Rare earliest 1st Generation. The aluminum base is marked with the Herman Miller Logo plus the words "˜Patent Pending', which are found only on bases produced during the first two years of production 1958 & 1959. A finer all original example of this rare chair will probably not be found.

Somehow this vegan friendly chair has been nearly perfectly preserved over its 60+ years. The charcoal Naugahyde doesn't have a mark on it. The aluminum is all completely intact with barely a rub here or there. The black enameled arms with only a minor scuff or two. And we removed and professionally cleaned the original fabric zip-off pillow cover.
