This armchair was first produced with a seat of bent steel that was cushioned with foam and covered with fabric or Naugahyde. Later, Herman Miller produced the seat using fiberglass-reinforced polyester. The frame was at first strengthened using bent steel rods that echoed the form of the chair. Later, the various feet of the frame were screwed individually into the seat. Today, the chair is offered with a leather covering and additional circulation holes on the bottom of the seat.
Produced by Herman Miller from 1955 to 1978, reintroduced in 2001.
