Does anybody know the process Herman Miller uses to finish their walnut veneer? I am refinishing some walnut and would like to emulate this look and feel. Does anybody have some insight for me?
Thank you!

There are a few places that restore modern furniture, I’d look them up and call them. Maybe spoof a bit so you get the info you want. (say your a student or something).
i know the eames walnut stools are oiled. i’m not certain about the chairs.
Thanks for the tips! I was guessing that they were oiled. I’ve tried to call a couple places, but I haven’t found one that was much help. Yet.
Thanks for the replies!
I contacted Herman Miller and I guess they call the finish a Milifan finish. The actual “process” is sort of under wraps by HM. So, I also spoke with a couple of furniture restoration shops and they both said they would use a Satin Lacquer finish if they were to restore it. So I guess that’s that.
Most of the Eames molded plywood is done by a company called Davidson Plyforms. Their website is http://www.plyforms.com/
I don’t know if this helps or not, just some extra info.
