A rare, first-generation Eames Aluminum Group Low Back Chair (model No. 680) from the early 1960s, originally produced in London by Hille under license for Herman Miller. This iconic design features a sleek aluminum frame and is upholstered in a ribbed gray Naugahyde (durable faux leather). Distinguished by its angular, somewhat brutalist four-star base and original white rubber feet, this chair represents an early iteration before the 'EA' naming convention began. It is structurally sound but shows expected vintage wear, including minor scratches on the column and slight splitting on the seat.

  • First-generation design (pre-EA naming)
  • Produced by Hille in London for Herman Miller
  • Aluminum frame and four-star base
  • Ribbed gray Naugahyde upholstery
  • Fixed pedestal base (no arms)
