Black Herman Miller Original Eames EA316 ‘Ribbed’ Lounge Aluminium Chair

Product Description

Here we offer a beautiful stark black leather, original, stylish Eames Herman Miller EA316 aluminium group lounge chair with wonderfully shiny aluminium frame. With its lightly used finish, this is the perfect opportunity to add this iconic piece of design to your home simply to luxuriate in it.

The Aluminium range from the Eames Office were a truly impactful design. The classic, and original, ‘ribbed’ version was amongst the first versions to be offered and still remains to be the iconic version of the group no matter what guise it is in. The sleek and comfortable design has helped to see it maintain consistent popularity since it was first introduced back in 1958.

Individual Characteristics

The chair does display signs of its age but the leather is not sagging. The aluminium only displays very light signs of use to it, but it has been a very well kept chair.

The black label on the underside indicates this is a newer chair produced after 2010 by Herman Miller.

Investment Details

The aluminium range have always retained a good value, mainly helped by their original, high, starting price. The lounge variant has always been regarded as the ‘premium’ option and so the naturally higher value for these does help with their investment value. This particular example is a gently used condition and has the potential to be a good investment piece.
