Herman Miller Molded Plywood Chair

This chair, in the collection of the Dallas Museum of Art, is made of molded plywood which sits on a chrome-plated metal base. There is a birch veneer which covers the seat and backrest. The seat and back are attached by black rubber shock mounts to a black frame with metal glides. The rubber shock mounts permit the chair to flex readily to changes in position. This piece was intended to be used in residential or office spaces. [Source: ca. 1952 Herman Miller, Inc. Trade Catalog]Pr…
