Vitra Aluminium Chairs EA 115/116 Chair

Vitra Aluminium Chairs EA 115/116 was designed by Charles & Ray Eames in 1958. Both versions are available with fabric, leather or mesh fabric covers in a selection of colours. EA 116 has a swivel seat, while EA 115 has a fixed base. The Aluminium Chairs EA 115 and EA 116 offer superb comfort with their high backrest. The seating height is designed so that users can easily rise from the chair.

The Aluminium Chair is one of the great 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.
