Eames Chair Restoration: DCM Edition

I found 6 original Herman Miller Eames DCM chairs on Craigslist a few weeks ago. Two sisters were clearing out their childhood home in Queens. These chairs sat at their dining room table since the early 60 s. Considering their age the chairs were in pretty good shape just very dry, rusty and a little dirty.

I started by disassembling the chairs and sanding off the clear coat. I had to sand each piece by hand because of the curves. Then I used Murphy s Oil Soap to clean off the dusk and any dirt left over. I also learned that you can soak tin foil in vinegar and rub it along the chime to remove the rust and grime.

How To: Replace Plastic Chair Foot on Eames for Herman Miller Shell Chairs

Sunday, October 21, 2012

I acquired a handful of these Eames for Herman Miller naugahyde shell chairs with h-bases on craigslist several years ago. Even when I first purchased them, four of the chair feet were broken off and there were not any good tutorials, or even just photos, of how to replace them on the Internet. So, four years later and here I am with two more broken chair glides and a brief tutorial on how to repair/replace them!

9th Circuit shows some hostility to functionality for product design, gets federal fame right

Blumenthal Distributing, Inc. v. Herman Miller, Inc., Nos. 18-56471 & 18-56493 (9th Cir. Jun. 25, 2020) 

HM and Blumenthal/OSP engaged in litigation over “knockoffs” of HM s Eames chairs and Aeron chairs. A jury found that HM s registered and unregistered claimed EAMES trade dresses were protectable, and that OSP willfully infringed and diluted them, resulting in an award of $3,378,966 in infringement damages and $3,000,000 in dilution damages, and OSP was enjoined. The jury also found that HM s registered and unregistered claimed AERON trade dresses were unprotectable because they were “functional.”

The court of appeals affirmed the infringement judgment on the Eames chairs, reversed on dilution for want of federal fame, and reversed and remanded on the Aeron trade dress because the jury was not properly instructed on functionality. The basic problem is an insight that the Ninth Circuit has had before, but has often put badly: if consumers want the product because of the way it looks, but they want the way it looks because of the reputation of the source, then the appearance is not aesthetically functional simply because consumers want it for the way it looks.

The problem is causation, because if consumers want the product for the way it looks, that is often aesthetic functionality. In addition, being known for introducing a design to the market should not itself count as the relevant reputation—that is the rule of Dastar—as opposed to being known for making quality physical instantiations of the design. But making that distinction can prove difficult.
