Product Details

Charles Eames EA 117 Office Chair

A perfect example of minimalist elegance, our Charles Eames style EA 117 Office Chair is an enhanced version of the Charles Eames EA 108 Office Chair. Instead of 4 points, the base has 5 points and is on wheels. This brings extra stability and mobility. The height adjustment is gas powered for a smoother movement. The seat is made from luxurious aniline leather and subtly padded for comfort. The frame and base are polished aluminium.

The story behind the Charles Eames EA 117 Office Chair

The Charles Eames 117 Office Chair is part of a family of chairs designed by Charles and Ray Eames in 1958, called the Aluminium Group. The original idea for the chair came about after Charles and Ray Eames were issued a design challenge by Eero Saarinen and Alexander Girard. Saarinen and Girard asked Charles and Ray Eames to design a high quality chair for outside use. The prototype was made from a mesh material but was later replaced with leather to become the Charles Eames EA 108 Office Chair. It was then further developed to become the Charles Eames EA 117 Office Chair.
