What the Eames Office and Herman Miller called a "two piece" pad, and signified in model numbers with the suffix, "-2," the public affectionately calls the "bikini" pad.
The address this chair's upholstery tag is 901 Washington Boulevard, Venice, CA. This was also the location of the Eames Office. For many years Herman Miller rented the back of the building to make furniture, such as this chair.
