Design Story
Charles and Ray Eames originally designed their tandem sling seating for Chicago's O'Hare International Airport in 1962 to address the need for comfortable, attractive, and sturdy public seating. They based the design on the sling system developed for their aluminum group chairs.
To test the strength and durability of tandem sling seating, Herman Miller tested a prototype by dropping a 100-pound weight on a seat pad 15,000 times at a height of 5 inches. In real life, tandem sling seating has proven its durability under the most grueling conditions every day, around the clock.
