Description
A gorgeous and very rare pair of authentic Mid Century leather Eames DAX armchairs by Herman Miller. Designed by arguably the 20th Century's most iconic design partnership, Charles & Ray Eames, this stunning and very comfortable pair of armchairs were made by Herman Miller in America in the 1960s and will enhance any interior with beautiful rare caramel colouring and an authentic Modernist-Chic Space-Age look.
Effortlessly cool and extremely comfortable, these super DAX armchairs feature four-legged tubular steel chrome H-bases above all original nylon glide feet, which join to the fiberglass shell seats via Herman Miller logo-stamped black shock mounts.
Upholstered in the original beautiful caramel leather with contrasting white plastic bordering, these superb armchairs are much sought after for their simplicity, beautiful lines and curves and their significance as design icons. The rare colouring and authenticity of this particular pair makes them very special indeed.
Sometimes called the Eames 'Shell Chair', 'Bucket Chair' or 'Rope Edge Chair', the DAX armchair, which stands for Dining Height Armchair X-Base, was first produced in 1952 and is the most sought after version of Charles and Ray Eames's iconic fibreglass chairs, which revolutionised 20th Century furniture.
This pair has ‘V’-embossed fibreglass shells in Greige (named for its combination of grey and beige) colouring, one of the original three Eames fibreglass shell colours from the early 1950s. These chairs are post-1959 fourth generation DAX armchairs as they have the improved white nylon glide feet, with their 'H-bases' also showing that they’re from the earlier generations of the Eames DAX armchairs.
All in all this is a fantastic, rare and historically significant pair of very comfortable, colourful and gorgeous Mid Century Modern armchairs. Designed by modern masters Charles & Ray Eames and produced by Herman Miller, a household name celebrated for Mid Century quality and excellence, these will be showstoppers in any setting.
Condition report:
These armchairs are in fair-to-good condition. Structurally sound, they have the usual signs of age associated with these DAX armchairs and have all the original parts and are very comfortable. The nylon glide feet are in excellent condition, the chrome bases have been cleaned and polished and are largely rust-and-pitting-free and the plastic bordering is in lovely condition with just a few grazes, as is their purpose to protect the chairs. The gorgeous caramel leather has been cleaned and treated and shows signs of wear including snags, scuffs, cracks, marks and parts where the stitching has worn, as is common with these rare old chairs. Overall these are a wonderful, rare and extremely comfortable pair of authentic Eames DAX armchairs in good condition and if well looked after they should be just as desirable and comfortable in another six decades if not more – please see the photos.

To protect our Customers from disappointment or the unexpected, we strongly encourage them to closely inspect item photos, descriptions, and details before purchasing anything on the Site, and then again upon delivery or pickup.
If the Customer is unsure about an item's condition, dimensions, quantity, or description, they can send their questions to the item's Vendor by clicking on Ask the seller on the listing page of the Site.
Customers shall receive the same level of consumer protection on purchases irrespective of whether they are buying from a Professional Vendor or Non-Professional Vendor.
Should you have any questions regarding your transaction, please contact the Vendor in the first instance.

If a Customer changes their mind or decides for any other reason not to purchase the Goods before they have been dispatched, they can cancel the order on the Site and receive a refund.
The right to cancel does not apply to the following types of goods, which are non-refundable: items that are personalised, bespoke, or made-to-order according to the customer's specific requirements. If in doubt, the Customer can contact the Vendor via the Site.
If the Customer cancels an order after an item has already been marked as dispatched for delivery, the delivery costs are non-refundable.
To cancel the order, the Customer must follow the cancellation procedure on the Site by clicking on Create Cancellation on the order page.
Can I return an item?
At Vinterior, we understand that sometimes a piece may not be the perfect fit once it's in your home. That's why we offer a 14-day return policy, allowing you to return any item within 14 days from the date of delivery for any reason.
In the rare event that an item arrives damaged or defective, you have 30 days from the date of delivery to return it for a full refund or to have the issue fixed when possible.

Types of returns and responsibilities
Change of mind return
Consumers can return the goods due to a change of mind. Once a return is requested, the buyer is in charge of shipping the goods back to the seller and should organise it as soon as possible. Shipment costs to and from buyers are non-refundable.
Item not fit for purpose
Acting under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, customers may return faulty Goods that are damaged or the listing on the Site is materially inaccurate, misleading, or misrepresents the Goods. In these cases, the Customer must provide photographic evidence to Vinterior and the Vendor or reject the delivery on arrival.
Damage in transit
Vinterior must be informed of any damage in transit. If Proovia delivered the items, Vinterior will then raise an insurance claim on behalf of the Vendor with the delivery company. If the seller organised a delivery, they would be asked to raise a claim with their courier. Once the claim is resolved and any relevant decision regarding the insurance has been made, any applicable refunds will be processed.
How to request a return
To initiate a return the customer needs to log in to their Vinterior account and click Create a return on the order page. In the return request, the reason for the return must be included along with photos of any damage of the Goods, if faulty.
How you will be refunded?
Once the item is returned to the Vendor in the same condition, the Vendor will confirm receipt of the item, and Vinterior will refund the original payment method.
If an item is returned to the seller damaged or in an unsuitable condition, Vinterior will not be able to process the refund, and the seller may have to send it back (and ask you to cover the delivery costs). All items are inspected on return.
What can't be returned?
As with cancellations, the right to return an item does not apply to the following types of Goods, which are non-refundable: items that are personalised, bespoke or made-to-order to the Customer's specific requirements.
Please note that vintage items are not sold as new and are likely to show signs of wear and tear. This is not sufficient grounds for a refund.
Vendors may refuse a return of an item if the Customer has altered it in any way.
Neither Vinterior nor the Vendors are liable for any damages or loss sustained in transit via third parties.
