I got myself a nice new warehouse that needs some serious office chairs. Eames is my starting point but open to anything that suits. Its the first time we have had a brand new place so deserves some decent furniture.

so if you're not in a panic I'll save you a fortune. Spend the savings on art for the walls : )
How many office chairs do you need? If you want new looking best to get herman miller or vitra with swivel bases, chrome finish with black ribbed leather or go for the soft pads which I prefer but are more money. Attached pics... Call me tomorrow. Bed time for me.

Herman Miller are the manufacturers of Eames chairs in the US. Vitra have the european rights. If buying vintage, always get Herman, if new either is fine really. Although if you had a choice I always prefer Herman Miller, original manufacturer of eames group chairs, 670's etc

Eames Chairs, by guest2 on Jan 11, 2008 9:33:33 GMT 1, Carl I have original Herman Millar and recently produced Vitra DAR chairs. They look fantastic and are really comfortable.
With Dar Chairs, they have to be vintage for the fibres, the new Vitra ones are just plastic. I have the same chair Harveyn but on a rare seng mech swivel base. Got we sound like anoraks!
I'll post a pic later - school run to do and I'm late every day!!!

Designed by Don Chadwick for Herman Miller, very comfortable but big and bulky. If you do go for one make sure it's black with the leather(look) arms and it has to be fully loaded. Size B is the best as stated. That way should you get fed up with it you'll have a good chance of getting your money back. They hold there money like romanywg said.
I can help you locate these as well carl if you want them. Just call me when you've decided what you want and I'll give you some contacts.

Eames Chairs, by graffoto on Jan 11, 2008 12:36:58 GMT 1, Hi, I'm new here but have been visiting since December following SG posts. But oddly it's another of my loves - Chairs - and my wife is even more obsessed, that gets me to post.
I just want to say what a stylish lot you .info lot are. Eames chairs set off a Banksy perfectly - anyone who say's Banksy fans aren't a cultured lot need look no further.
Thanks

Eames Chairs, by Harveyn on Jan 11, 2008 12:38:27 GMT 1, If you are after this office type of look I would go for the Charles Eames Soft Pad Alu Group Office Chair Black (as per Frankies suggestion above). An absolute classic and if its good enough for Parkinson its good enough for me.
I would go vintage and definitely go original (not one of these inspired by!!!). A chair like this is for life.
This is a picture of a reproduction. I am pretty sure you can get the original with casters.

Nope, Parky uses a timelife chair, designed by charles eames for the time life building Mastermind has the above chair but a highback with a lounge base. I have the same chair but mine is a nice old one from the 60's. We should start a modern design/art thread H!
