New materials, especially those that held promise for doing more with less, fascinated the Eameses thoughout their careers. Plastic was no exception. they saw in it the chance to form organic seat shells that conform to the body's shape. The Eameses adapted manufacturing techniques developed during World War II to mass-produce this design in side and armchair versions. As they typically did, the Eameses required that materials be expressed honestly and unselfconsciously so these were the first one-piece plastic chairs offered without upholstery or covering. Their enduring design and quality construction make them durable performers in many environments. Herman Miller originally offered six colors for the fiberglass chairs. By the early 1960's fiberglass molding shifted from Zenith Plastics of California to Cinncinati Milacron. Herman Miller began to experiment with a broad range of colors. Olive Green was added to the collection as one of the new "standard colors." The Olive Green shells were incredibly popular and remain so today. we are offering the shell without a base; we get many requests from avid collectors who have many shells and prefer to rotate them among the few bases they already own. Please be aware that no base is included with this listing. If you would like a reproduction rocker, dowel or eiffel base please see our other listings. Domestic and International shipping is free with the purchase of a shell and base. Please be aware that reduced combined shipping is available on multiple shell purchases. Condition report: Fiberglass is clean with superficial scuffs, scratches, and resin wear consistent with 50+ years of use; no fractures, breaks, holes or major damage. Fiberglass retains its original sheen. The Herman Miller embossement is on the underside of the shell. Shockmounts are original and are well-afixed to the shell. The shockmount configuration is the versatile narrow mount; this shell will fit all bases except the wide version of the scholatic stacking base. The dimensions of the narrow shockmount configuration are: 7 3/8" side to side in the front, 4 3/4" side to side in the back, and 6 3/4" front to back. Thank you for looking.
