My oh my…. Isn’t Herman Miller furniture FABULOUS??? And just classic no matter the design or the designer. We certainly think so, and this vintage pair of armchairs is no exception!! They are comprised of wood frames with a gorgeous brown mahogany finish, sculpted curved slat seat backs, and they wear their original burnt orange brushed chenille fabric. Herman Miller magnificence!! They are sturdy, comfortable, have a timeless design, and they are versatile enough to go in any room. We can just see them flanking the fireplace in the study or as captain’s chairs at your dining table. They would be perfect used as extra seating in your living room but would be equally as fabulous in your bedroom, sitting room, or home office. Possibilities are endless!!
Herman Miller started life as Star furniture Co. in Zeeland, Michigan in 1905 a producer of high-quality furniture. Becoming Michigan Star Furniture Co in 1919, and then in 1923, when long time employee Dirk Jan De Pree and his father-in-law purchased 51% of the company stock, it was renamed Herman Miller Furniture Company. And remained so until the 1960s when it became Herman Miller, Inc. Until the 1930s they produced only traditional wood furniture, but the Great Depression caused a need for change, and they hired modernist Gilbert Rohde who took the company in a new successful direction. Upon Rohde’s death in 1944 he was replaced by none other than the renowned George Nelson. Working with the likes of not only Charles and Ray Eames but Isamu Noguchi, Alexander Girard, and Robert Propst, to name just a few, Nelson led Herman Miller to became one of the finest names in furniture and design.
Versatility, impeccable style, and iconic notoriety… what more could you ask for? This pair of Herman Miller armchairs has it all… now, you just need to make them yours!!
