Product Description

A very resplendent colour; this deep red, original, Eames for Herman Miller DSW dining side shell chair sits on a complimentary newer, used, walnut dowel base. The colour combination makes this DSW a very desirable piece waiting to adorn your chosen space with its presence.

The DSW has become easily one of the most recognisable and one of the most desirable versions of the iconic Eames fiberglass series and it is easy to see why. With the beautiful blend of wood and metal; no matter which combination of wood it is finished in, there is always a version that works effortlessly with both the colour of the shell and the décor of the area it is being placed into.

Individual Characteristics

The shell is in great vintage condition. The colour is gorgeous though there are natural signs of wear consistent with its age and some interesting patina finish through aging present meaning this shell has a very unique character it is waiting to bring to your chosen location! The shells are slightly lighter than appear in the listing photographs so further images are available upon request.

The newer, used, walnut DSW base is in good condition too with some minor signs of use around the bottom of the legs.

The ‘S’ inside the circle on the underside of the shell indicates it originates from Herman Miller’s Summit Plastics factory. 

Investment Details

The shell chairs are also influenced by their colour. Red is a rarer colour to find for these wonderful shell chairs and, though these are a little distinctly aged, they should still prove to be some gentle investment pieces.
