Saw a piece at a yardsale today.....looked like an aluminum group base loveseatDid HM ever produce an aluminum group loveseat with upholstered arms? Looked like it could have been for an airport or office.

yes
jesgord,
The answer is yes. The "sky is the limit" to the number of versions of Eames Tandem Sling seating that have been produced over the years. I saw a "previously enjoyed" version with a small laminate table between the two seats recently at a commercial Herman Miller dealer. It was a "buy back" from a remodeled office and the price was very low.

Nope, that's not what I saw-but thanks. Thinking it was an older knockoff. Will go through my Furniture Forums tonight and see what I can dig up. An astounding amountr of period HM and Knoll knokoffs to be found.

Jesgord, there certainly was
Aluminum Group tandem seating. Not the sling tandem. I clearly remember it in the Eastern Airlines terminal at Washington National in the mid-sixties. I do not remember upholstered arms, however.

may I suggest
jesgord,
I apologize for confusing the issue.
May I suggest that you contact the Historian at Herman Miller and get the information you desire. They kindly answered the questions I ask. They were a great help to me and I would expect the same for you.
