Lemon Yellow Herman Miller Original Vintage Eames DSW Side Shell Chair

Product Description

A much coveted original Herman Miller lemon yellow Eames fiberglass DSW side shell chair is always popular since they work easily with any interior decoration. This particular top is invigorated by the light oak DSW base it is sat upon. One of the original colour choices for the shells, yellow is perhaps slightly more common than the elephant grey and seafoam colours but this does not inhibit its popularity.

The side variant of the iconic shell chairs was the second version to be produced and was done so in 1952/53. The arm shell was the first one to be produced in 1950 from the combined force of Zenith Plastics and Herman Miller.

Individual Characteristics

This particular shell displays its colour very well with only some minor natural lightening from the years it has been in use. The highly fibrous finish is wonderful and there are no cracks or dents.

The ‘C’ with the five-pointed star on the underside indicates this is a Cincinnati Milacron shell produced by Herman Miller between the years 1965-1978. Please be aware, there are a number of these shells and so the patent label may not be on all/many of them.

Investment Details

The Eames shells range in their investment value depending upon many factors. The condition, age, colour and even origin of the shell can affect the price of each shell. As this is one of the original colours its investment value is more reasonable than some shells and it should see a steady increase over time.
