The chairs in the Aluminium Group from Vitra are the most famous creations by Charles & Ray Eames. Designed in 1958 they rate amongst the great achievements in the design history of the 20th century.
An important characteristic of the Aluminium Group Chair is the intelligent combination of materials. It has a clear, transparent form and its construction is clearly visible. Aluminium sections lend the chair both stability and lightness. The material is fixed into the side sections, yet fitted loosely so that it follows the line of the body and is comfortable without requiring extensive upholstery. This material is not a cover but an integral part of the design.
The EA 108 features a frame in either chromed or polished aluminium and has armrests, is mounted on a four leg polished base, has a fixed seat height and is available with leather, Hopsak or Netweave upholstery, in a variety of colours.
Upholstery Details:
Leather : sturdy calf hide with prononced grain
Hopsak : 100% polyamide fabric
Netweave : 72% plastic, 28% polyester mesh
As with Aluminium Group Chairs the EA 108 comes with a thirty year Vitra guarantee.
