Details
Designed by Charles and Ray Eames, the Eames Molded Fiberglass Side Chair is one of the most recognisable pieces of mid-century modern furniture ever produced.
This example features a striking Ultramarine Blue moulded fibreglass shell paired with the iconic White Wire “Eiffel” Base. Unlike the later polypropylene versions, the fibreglass shell has distinctive visible fibres and natural surface variation that give each chair its own character.
Originally introduced in 1950, the Eames shell chair was created around the idea of producing a comfortable, sculptural chair from a single moulded shell. Herman Miller later reintroduced the fibreglass version using an improved production process while retaining the distinctive texture and appearance of the original design.
This is an authentic Herman Miller example, manufactured in the USA in 2015, with Herman Miller, Eames Office and Eames signature markings moulded into the underside of the shell.
A highly collectable Eames design and a great statement piece for dining, home, office or commercial interiors. This Eames fibreglass Version is very rare.

Design Story
Founded in 1905 in Michigan as a traditional furniture company, it transformed in the 1930s under the leadership of D.J. De Pree. Instead of playing it safe with conventional styles, the company leaned into modernism, collaborating with visionary designers who would go on to define an era.
The turning point came through partnerships with figures like Charles Eames and Ray Eames, whose molded plywood and fiberglass chairs became icons of mid century design. George Nelson, the company’s design director, helped establish a cohesive and forward thinking identity, bringing in talents like Isamu Noguchi.
Over time, Herman Miller built a reputation for blending aesthetics with function. That philosophy carried into the late 20th century with innovations like the Aeron Chair, which redefined office seating and became a symbol of early tech culture.
Today, Herman Miller remains a global design leader, balancing heritage with innovation. Its pieces are not just furniture, they’re cultural artifacts that quietly signal taste, whether in a Silicon Valley office or a carefully curated living room.
