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 construc-tion, 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.

Vitra has produced Aluminium Group chairs in the same superior quality for decades. This experience allows us to off er a 30-year guarantee* on all of the chair models in the Aluminium Group.

∏ In versions with upholstery in Leather or Premium Leather, the seat surface is covered in the respective leather and the reverse side is covered with Plano fabric. The reverse side of the cover is optionally available in leather at additi-onal cost.
