When comparing the prices of our designs over the years its important to adjust for inflation. In 1958, An Eames Aluminum Group dining chair, for example, sold for $198. Adjusted for inflation that becomes $1545 today. The same chair purchased new from the HermanMiller store is $1690, very close to the original price Herman Miller is dedicated to maintaining the quality and craftsmanship expected by Charles and Ray Eames. To do less, would compromise the intent of their designs. David Arthur, thanks for your comment, I appreciate where you’re coming from.

That's a smart design choice since there would be no easy way to keep gravel or other debris out of the wheels. Love the sophisticated lounge look of these pieces!

It turns out the two are connected. Saran is a the trade name for PVDC, a plastic developed in the 1930s by Dow Chemical. The material was first used is shoe insoles and later in automotive interiors --which is where it most likely caught the eye of Charles and Ray Eames. Saran was used on the grill of the Eames designed speaker for Tru-Sonic several years prior to the production of the Aluminum Group Outdoor chair. Jamie, my mind went to the same place.

It's the first thing it made me think of. Any correlation between the abandoned saran material and Saran plastic wrap? It’s the first thing it made me think of.
