SOLD / Vintage Matched Pair of Eames DKR Black Wire Bikini Dining Chairs

In 1951, Charles and Ray Eames met the challenge of making a reasonably priced, quality chair that was light yet strong. Their solution - the Eames wire chair. It featured a sculpted look, comfort, and practicality which made It an immediate hit.

This particular example is a pretty matched pair in untouched original condition. The chairs are gorgeous with minimal wear. The wire chair is particularly susceptible to broken wires and welds. These chairs are perfectly intact with no broken wires or welds whatsoever. The upholstery is clean and in beautiful condition, there is one small 1/4" tear at an edge (see photos). The chairs also both feature their original "901 W. Washington Blvd" Herman Miller tags, which means they were made in California in the early 1950's, before production transitioned to Zeeland, Michigan. This makes them some of the earliest examples of their kind.
