colors. The reintroduction will coincide with the 100th birthday of Charles in June of 1907. The Eames's were famous for their ground breaking designs that led the modern movement in furniture design creating many popular pieces for Hermann Miller from 1940's to the 1970's.
The colorful palette for the lounge chair with wooden legs (LCW) will initially include yellow, light blue, and white, with green, orange, purple, black, and red aniline stains added later this summer. The new colors also will be available later this summer on the molded plywood lounge chair with metal legs (LCM), the dining chair with wooden legs (DCW) and the dining chair with metal legs (DCM). The colors were chosen from other designs by Eames as well as popular colors or the era.
