Original Eames Bikini Drafting Chairs by Herman Miller. Black and White, both with full nice original lables. The lable info has LA320, and Reg No Cal - 7053. The white one also has a Commonwealth of Pennsylvana 195 stamp.
The problem is Ive never seen Bikini style chairs with the drafting set-up. Ive looked and looked but no information ever found. Would love to know if there is a catalog listing for the drafting style chair. Any

Hi from Sydney Australia!
Nice drafting chairs!
There is one site that has this base and the alternative chair frame:
