A rare lightly mellowed "Salmon" colored shell with untypical low style solid Zinc "X" rod base, all unmolested and well preserved in sublime condition. Bearing a fully intact and rare "shipped from Venice, California" decal underneath - this label was used only for a brief period of time in 1952 when Zenith plastics was no longer under manufacturing contract but the production of the shells had not yet begun at Herman Miller Factories in Zeeland, Mich (1953). During that interval of time the remaining Zenith inventory was shipped directly from the Eames' Venice studio location under the HM name. CONDITION : This extremely vivid 2nd production Salmon colored shell chair is in outstanding condition, completely intact and fully functional.
