Scavenger: 5 Eames Era Woven Steel-Framed Chairs
Los Angeles

atla-072308-scavies01.jpgThere's still a good month and a half of summer left and if you haven't finished sprucing up your outdoor area, you might snatch up these chairs, slap 'em around a firepit and call it a very very good day. You could also use them inside...More good stuff after the jump...

Those green chairs were sold by Pier 1 recently for about $50 each. It's rather annoying when folks apply "Eames Era" to eBay and CL listings for practically new items.

Quite annoying..
I used to work @ Pier 1 so I noticed these chairs right away.
They're called Orbit chairs.. and were sold there up until about 3-4 months ago.

Very Eames![/sarcasm]

Thank goodness someone else mentioned it. I have that exact chair on my patio as we speak.

I thought the metal legs looked recent.

Why are the LA Scavenger posts always so abismal? Doesn't anyone ever part with anything good in this town?

I have Chicago, NY and SF Scavenger envy.

Okay, I got 2 green and 2 blue of the Orbit chairs for about $50.00 a couple years ago from Pier One. Alas, they are NOT quite as well made as the post would have you believe. One of the blue chairs was toast within a month.
