About this piece
After years of experimentation and design refinement, Charles and Ray Eames perfected the 'Pivoting Side Chair' (PSC), produced by Herman Miller throughout the 1960s and 1970s. This rare and highly collectible set features six matching chairs in a beautiful bone-coloured fibreglass finish - an iconic example of mid-century American design.
Each chair features the classic contract swivel base and presents in very good vintage condition, with no structural issues, smooth swivel action, and clean aluminum bases. One chair shows a small surface chip to the fibreglass edge (pictured), which does not affect function or integrity.
All six chairs include original Herman Miller branding stamped into the shell, with some retaining their original stickers, and one featuring a serial number - authenticity assured.
Complete matching sets of PSC chairs are incredibly hard to come by - especially locally. While similar pieces are available in the US and Europe, they’re far less commonly available in Australia.

Design Story
Working from the United States from the 1940s onward, they approached design as a total system rather than isolated objects. Their work blended architecture, furniture, photography, film, and everyday life into one coherent vision.
They are best known for their long collaboration with Herman Miller, which helped bring their ideas into homes and offices worldwide. Together they created pieces that are still instantly recognisable today.
Among their most iconic designs is the Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman, a piece that combined plywood shell construction with luxurious comfort and became a global symbol of modern living. Earlier work like the LCW chair explored new ways of shaping wood into ergonomic forms, while their molded plastic chairs, including the DSW, brought accessible modern design into everyday dining rooms.
They also extended their thinking beyond furniture. The Eames House in California, part of the Case Study House program, shows their core philosophy clearly: modular structure, honest materials, and a deep respect for how people actually live.
The Eames legacy is not just a set of famous objects. It is a way of thinking about design as something that should be playful, useful, scalable, and deeply human at the same time.
