Charles and Ray Eames conceived and developed this chair in 1958 for the private residence of an art collector in Columbus, Indiana (USA). For its construction, the designer couple departed from the principle of the seat shell, instead stretching a panel of fabric or leather between two aluminum side members to create a taut but elastic seat. The chair adapts to the body of the sitter and is exceedingly comfortable, even without elaborate upholsteryThe aluminum Group includes several different models for use in homes, offices and public areas. Thanks to this wide range of models, a variety of aluminum bases with a polished, chrome-plated or black powder-coated finish, and a large selection of colors for fabric or leather upholstery, the perfect Aluminum Chair can be found for every environment. Vitra has produced Aluminum Group chairs in the same superior quality for decades.
