An Eames Classic
It’s a trick only Charles and Ray Eames could pull off: Chairs designed in 1958 as outdoor seating still look classic and contemporary in 21st century interiors.
The chair's clean, curvilinear lines enhance any décor and work well in your home office, dining area, and living room. Available in fabric or leather, these Eames chairs are equipped with an innovative suspension that creates a firm, flexible “sitting pocket.” It conforms subtly to your body’s shape and maintains your comfort.
With an aluminum frame and base, the chair is strong, yet lightweight and easy to move. Earth-friendly, too: made of 67 percent recycled materials and 90 percent recyclable at the end of its useful life.
Innovative Comfort Suspension
A continuous piece of seat-back upholstery stretched tautly between the aluminum side ribs makes a flexible pocket that provides support as you sit.
Handy Adjustments
Chairs have a 5-star base with swivel mechanism. Available with glides that work on both hardwood floors and carpet.
Earth-Friendly Construction
Aluminum Group chairs are made of 67 percent recycled materials and are 90 percent recyclable at the end of their useful life.
Though not as universally popular as the Eames Lounge and Ottoman, the Eames Aluminum Group Chair is a pop-culture icon in its own right. Designed originally to be an outdoor seating solution, the stylish modern design and brilliant functionality of the Eames Aluminum Group Chair has made it an ideal choice for interior seating as well as home seating over the years. This popularity transferred seamlessly into television and movies, where it has been featured numerous times over the years as a staple of modernism. Here are just some examples of where the Eames Aluminum Chair can be spotted on screen:
