OAM boasts one of the largest collections of vintage Eames fiberglass shell chairs in New York City. We maintain a comprehensive selection of colorways, including rare and sought-after colors, in multiple quantities, enabling you to mix and match a set effortlessly. Shells are available for purchase individually, or we can offer guidance on assembling a set. For large sets, our extensive inventory ensures that the set has a cohesive and streamlined look.

We only send out the finest vintage examples. A close inspection ensures each shell is free of chips, cracks, or defects. We replace the rubber shockmounts that attach the chairs to the base. Finally, the chairs are carefully polished to enhance the original finish. Our meticulous restoration process ensures the chairs are comfortable, stable and is an added value included in your purchase.

The Eames Shell Chair was designed on the principle of adaptability, to accommodate a variety of uses and settings. Our shell chairs are shown on original zinc-finish bases, referred to as "H bases" by Eames enthusiasts.

Our base options include, but are not limited to:

Zinc H Base
