The legs of the Swaged Leg Group, which also included tables, obtained their form through the swaging process, by which the steel tube can be tapered and bent. In order to reduce production costs, all four legs of a chair or table were shaped in the same way.

Produced by Herman Miller from 1958 to 1964, reintroduced in 2006.

1954 / produced 1958–64, since 2006
