removable rubber slide-on feet with metal glides. Labels to denote authenticity have changed over the decades with the very first in 1956 a silver/white circular medallion containing the phrases 'designed by Charles Eames' and 'Herman Miller Zeeland Mich', changing to black oblong ('70s and '80s), silver oblong ('90s and 2000s), and curved embossed (2000s–present). History The Eames Lounge Chair first appeared on the Arlene Francis Home show broadcast on the NBC television network in the US in 1956. Immediately following the debut, Herman Miller launched an advertising campaign that highlighted the versatility of the chair. Print ads depicted the 670 in a Victorian parlor, occupied by a grandmother shelling peas on the front porch of an American Gothic style house, and in the middle of a sunny field of hay. Since its introduction, the chair has been in continuous production by MillerKnoll in the USA. Later, Vitra (in cooperation with the German furniture company Fritz Becker KG) began producing the chair for the European market. It was licensed in the UK for 10 years to Hille International LTD from 1957. Immediately following its release, other furniture companies began to copy the chair's design. Some made direct copies, others were merely influenced by the design. The former Plycraft Company issued dozens of chairs that were direct copies of or in-the-style-of the Eames 670. Later Chinese and European companies began making direct copies. However, Herman Miller and Vitra remain the only two companies to produce these chairs with the Eames name attached. In 2006, to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the chair, Miller released models using a sustainable palisander rosewood veneer. In 2008 both Herman Miller & Vitra developed a tall (known as XL in Europe) version offering a higher and wider sizing. Popular culture Frasier features the chair and ottoman in the apartment of the titular character, Frasier Crane, who identifies it by name in the pilot episode and describes it in a later episode as "...the best-engineered chair in the world." Like most of the furnishings, it is there for the entire series. Shark Tank replaced its red chairs it had for eight seasons with Eames Lounge Chairs as part of a new, modern set. iCarly also featured the chair and sometimes ottoman in the Seattle apartment of Carly Shay and her brother Spencer. Both Frasier and iCarly were set in Seattle. House features the chair and ottoman in Dr.
