More than 60 years after its first debut, the Molded Fiberglass Side Chair with Dowel Base has returned with a new, more eco-friendly presence. When Charles & Ray Eames designed their first Molded Fiberglass Shell Chairs in 1950, they designed more than a chair. They designed a full experience: chairs that would be welcoming, versatile and would stand the test of time. Unveiled at NeoCon 2013, the highly anticipated, revamped Eames Fiberglass Chairs are produced in a new material, from a proprietary process that works for the planet while honoring the legacy of the original Eames' designs. The Side Chair with Dowel Base is offered in a new fiberglass finish featuring the same surface striation that has attracted avid vintage collectors for decades. And Herman Miller has even reformulated color pigments to reproduce the series' original color options from the 1950s. The Fiberglass Chairs remain as relevant today as when originally introduced, inspiring applications that complement a variety of spaces.

Since its beginning in 1905 as the Michigan Star Furniture Company and its 1923 re-branding marking the start of a new design era, Herman Miller has established an internationally recognized name for itself across the design industry. Boasting a wide array of pieces that range from being Mid-Century Modern iconic to being highly functional for the modern person, the company continues to remain at the top of the industry's list of notable and influential brands. While Herman Miller lighting brings a practical eye to the modern workspace, the brand doesn't lose site of what modern design should look like. While a portion of their lighting assortment is centralized on multi-functionalism wrapped in a sleek design, the brand George Nelson Bubble Lamp Collection encapsulates the timelessness of Mid-Century Modern lighting that have withstood the test of time and continue offer a modern touch to any space. Between the variation of sleek profiles for Herman Miller's table lamps to the classy designs of the bubble lamps, Herman Miller does well to cover the range of lighting tastes between sleek functionalism to modern timelessness.
