Tandem Three-Shell Seating by Charles and Ray Eames for Herman Miller

Creator: Charles & Ray Eames
Offered by: Machine Age

Description
Charles and Ray Eames developed this tandem shell seating for Herman Miller in 1963 as a comfortable solution for heavily trafficked spaces. A row of three vinyl-upholstered fiberglass-reinforced armchairs, two in ultramarine and one in raw umber, attach to cast aluminium spiders that are mounted on a steel T-beam. Once seen in airports and other public venues, the seating is perfect for a lounge or modern rec room.

A corresponding tandem four-shell seating with white laminate tabletop is also available.
