Vitra and Herman Miller have partnered with the Eames Office to launch a limited-edition Eames Fiberglass Chair that is hand-painted with the artwork of renowned mid-century artist and Eames friend, as well as cover artist for the New Yorker for nearly six decades, Saul Steinberg. Sanctioned by Steinberg Foundation, each chair will feature the hand-painted cat originally sketched by Steinberg in the 1950s, following the debut launch of the Eames Shell Chair in 1950, which saw the world’s first industrially mass-produced chair with the seat and backrest formed from a one-piece shell. The chair will launch on June 14th 2023 in a limited edition run of 500 chairs, 180 of which will be available in North America through Herman Miller. Click here to sign up for early access.
