Herman Miller Pair


I was just lamenting yesterday on the fact that I have barely hit any sales this season.  I've only bought a few little odds and ends here and there.  It has been soooo long since I had a really big score.  I only had one sale on my agenda today and that wasn't very fruitful, but after leaving that I stopped by a garage sale and BAM!  These bright red-orange babies were sitting right at the curb just waiting for me!  I almost never find anything mid-century modern in my little home town and certainly nothing this nice but the thrifting gods must have been smiling today.  The chairs are in fantastic condition and are a red-orange color.  The bases are the swivel variety.  I'd love them on rockers but really swivels are way more fun than rockers so why mess with a good thing?  The price - just $30 for the pair!  They've taken up home in the corners of my dining room, replacing the Baumritter chairs I had there before.

  1. Sweet find. Herman Miller usually goes up pretty high here in Michigan since Herman Miller is here in town. Not sure where you are located but that is a great deal!!! I would have loved to have found those.

  12. Beautiful dining room! I used to have that table and made the bad decision to trade it for something else - and have regretted it ever since.
