It is notable the lengths that devotees will go to attain vintage Herman Miller. This EAMES RAR Rocking Chair Vintage ORANGE shell w/ new Black rod/birch base/runners is a good example and has a nice story behind it worth checking out. The price is good as well. Vintage like this can go for $600-$800 at auction, while new replicas go for $350. (Note: Picture is not actual - Scott, send us one and we'll stick it in.) MGR
OTHER GOOD STUFF
(Thanks, Craig!)
Funny how much Eames furniture goes on sale. Wonder why that is?
it's about supply and demand. mid century modern has been HOT for nearly a decade now, but going full force when DWR was introduced to the masses. DWR, the GAP of modern furnishings has helped educate the people but has not given them an APPRECIATION for such furnishings. alas.
eames is the most recognized of all mid century modern designers and brands. it was at one time, about form AND function. and ironically, INEXPENSIVE (for the times). they made a lot of stuff in mass quantities (we used their chairs and desks in elementary school) so there's going to be more of their stuff for sale, generally speaking.
