Hard-to-find First Generation Eames LKX (Low/Wire/X-base) lounge chairs, only made one year with this configuration; 1951. Made by Charles & Ray Eames for Herman Miller. Various areas of wear/oxidation, please see pictures. The legs are solid, the original boot glides were only used this first year of production, 1951.
These chairs are works of functional art. Measures: 26.5″ tall x 18″ wide x 22.5″ deep. 16″ seat height. The first release of the four-legged X base version was in two sizes, the dining (DKX) and the lounge height (LKX) versions. The X in the name of the DKX, LKX and MKX stands for the X base, an original patterned base with a clear crisscross where the base joins the top. This base was developed for the plastic series and was later utilized for the wire mesh chairs. The X-base was replaced in 1954 for the lighter and more versatile ‘H Base’ but for the sake of continuity the X in the name stayed, even to this day with the later re-launch. These were made in this configuration the first year of production.
