An early Zenith-produced Eames armchair in Elephant Hide Gray with its original rope edge intact. The gray has softened and mellowed over the years, while the fiberglass remains highly visible beneath the surface. Dense strands create depth and variation throughout the shell, giving the color a warmth not often associated with gray. Examples like this are a reminder that fiberglass continues to change long after it leaves the factory.
