An adaptation of the specially commissioned ‘Lobby Chairs’ for the Time Life building in New York, the 1960 release of the Lounge Chair version brought this wonderful design to homes, offices, conference rooms and lobbies all over the US and beyond. The design has had numerous names over the years including the Time Life Lounge Chair (from the building it was commissioned to go in), the Lobby Chair (the intended space of the original commission) and even the Eames Executive Chair Group. Any one of these terms can still represent the design today so it is worth remembering them all. Generally speaking however, the Eames Time Life Lobby Chair tends to tick the most boxes in terms of name.
This chair has the early and Original Herman Miller 1960’s stamped base which has never been removed, the leather has been totally restored to include being washed back, hand dyed six times, antiqued, sealed waxed down and polished, this is the only chair in the entire world with this exact colour finish, there are no others and there never will be
Condition wise, the chrome is in sublime order throughout, it has the perfect hue that is only achieved through honest age and use, the leather as mentioned is restored, there was one hair line rip on the top back near one of the buttons which has been professionally restored, there is a new leather panel inside the cushion so its impossible for this area to ever fail again, otherwise it just has the exact look and feel you could hope for This chair came from a third generation architects home in Germany, I have been looking for this exact model for over ten years.
