Hi All
I've been searching for info on the PDP-1 chair:
http://www.computerhistory.org/collections/accession/102662827
What I would like to know is what make and design it really is. Did DEC
actually manufacture it themselves? Or did they buy it from someone
else?
It is a generic Eames-style mid century chair. I'll look, but I don't
remember the manufacturer was anywhere on it. I did a LOT of research
on this before we were offered a real one from a PDP-1.
It was not from one of the big name makers like Herman Miller.
I'll try to find my notes, I think I remember that the original
manufacturer was in Chicago.
It is also a lot smaller than it appears to be in the pictures.
