Description

This classic vintage mid century modern orange Eames Compact Sofa Model S-473 was manufactured by Herman Miller in the late 20th century. Charles and Ray Eames originally designed the Eames Sofa Compact in 1954 based on a built-in sofa the couple had designed for their Pacific Palisades home in the 1940s. This freestanding version has been in continuous production ever since. Well-built and solid, the Eames Model S-473 Compact Sofa features a backrest with two foam pads with a reinforcing cord welting detail and urethane foam seat cushion supported by fabric-reinforced rubber webbing on a steel and wire-spring armature. The steel sofa frame is black enamel and the chrome-plated tubular steel legs have original “Insulated Domes of Silence” stain steel glides. The sofa backrest folds up and down by removing screws for convenient storage and transport. The iconic mid century design is clean and minimalist – great for small spaces and providing a modern light and airy profile in large spaces. Perfect for home or office. Herman Miller sticker on frame.
