Aluminum Group EA 117 Work chair
The Aluminum Group chair from Vitra is one of the 20th century's foremost design furniture. It was designed by Charles and Ray Eames as early as 1958 on behalf of an art collector in Columbus, Indiana, who would have it in his private residence. In this case, the couple deviated from the Eames shell construction, instead a piece of fabric or leather was clamped between two aluminum profiles and thus an elastic seat was obtained.
This type of construction provides a high level of comfort, even without upholstery. Aluminum Group is available in a number of different designs and comes with fabric (Hopsak), a kind of fabric (Netweave) or leather. The version with leather upholstery has leather on the front and fabric (Plano) on the back. The chair fits well in the home as well as in the office or in public environments. The extremely high quality allows the manufacturer to provide a 30-year warranty on this chair.
