From HermanMiller.com:
Herman Miller is providing its customers with an exclusive program intended to enrich their connection to the world's most renowned product designs. Called Herman Miller Select, the program offers an opportunity to own a limited edition product released once a year with a distinct characteristic for collector appeal.
The company's first Select product release will include the Eames Molded Plywood Lounge Chair, fashioned with a luscious walnut veneer and refined leather hairhide upholstered seat and back.
Gregg Vander Kooi, manager of Herman Miller's Classics, notes that the Select program was born out of the increasing demand from collectors for classic products with unique enhancements. "Charles and Ray Eames often experimented with different finishes and materials for their designs. This version of the chair was offered in the 50's and 60's and we thought this would be a great way to allow our customers to own a similar share of design history."
Only 500 chairs will be available for this inaugural year from the company's global network of dealerships and retailers. Each piece sold will be numbered for authenticity and packaged with a signed and numbered print of the Eames Molded Plywood Lounge Chair by Nick Merrick of the famed Hedrich Blessing studio.
"The Herman Miller Select experience enables us to make the purchase of our products even more special for our customers," says Marg Mojzak, director of Herman Miller for the Home. "The introduction of this particular chair also demonstrates how our design heritage continues to inspire us."
Originally introduced in 1946, the Molded Plywood Lounge Chair is an outcome of the Eameses' clever plywood molding process used to create splints and stretchers for the United States Navy during World War II. Studies of the body's shape and contour led them to design one of the world's most recognizable chairs, which now resides in museum collections around the world and was lauded by TIME magazine as the Design of the Century.
The Select Eames Molded Plywood Lounge Chair has a list price of $2,121. For additional information, visit www.hermanmiller.com/select. To purchase, visit SmartFurniture.com.
