USA, 1950s
Iconic and exceptional Eames for Herman Miller Zenith Rope Edge SAX arm shell chair in rare seafoam green. An exceptional example of this first generation Eames design, manufactured by Zenith
Plastics... Label is fully intact, all original glides (domes of silence), screws, and washers, no cracks or chips, beautifully thick fiberglass, and a rare color.
The solid X base has an intermediate height and retains all four of its original "domes of silence" foot glides. The chair has the embedded rope on the edge, beautiful
high fiber content, large shock mounts, and the checkerboard label is in excellent condition. Chair even retains the grease pencil designation of SAX on the underside from the factory! The
relaxed seat height of the SAX makes it a versatile chair, perfect for conversation or reading.
This one is a keeper- an excellent example!
