Vitra EA108 Aluminium Chair by Charles & Ray Eames (Black)

The Aluminium Chair is one of the greatest furniture designs of the twentieth century. 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 aluminium 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 upholstery.

The EA108 Aluminium Chairs are the quintessential solution for meeting venues. They are found in countless finely furnished offices, conference spaces and meeting rooms around the globe. Thanks to their generous proportions and resilient sling seat – a panel of fabric stretched between two aluminium ribs – the chairs are exceedingly comfortable.

This chair in great vintage condition with normal signs of wear. It's marked and dated with 2003.
