Vintage EAMES BIKINI Chair With EIFFEL Base, White Wire, Red Vinyl, Provenance
Item History & Price
with Rare White Eiffel Tower Base
A mid-century modern classic, from the collection of a former Eames Office employee. The red vinyl seat is in very good condition, one leg wire has a bend, and it is missing 3 foot glides. Some rusting to the hooks holding the seat cover on. The wires of the base have accumulated a greasy dirt over the years that has transferred to the bottom of the seat in places. This dirt comes off easily with citrus-base...d cleaner, but is difficult to access. I have managed to clean most of it, but it would be very easy to finish the job by taking the seat cover off. It has a Herman Miller label on the bottom with the 4131 Redwood Avenue, Los Angeles address. I have a nice little story about the chair and Ray Eames, which I will pass on to whoever takes ownership of this MCM gem.
