EA108 chair by Charles & Ray Eames for Herman Miller, 1970s

















True icons of twentieth century design, the seats of the Aluminum Group series were designed by Charles and Ray Eames in the 1950s and were first created in 1958, defining what is still the standard for meeting chairs today. A clean and visible structure, which combines the stability and lightness of aluminum with the comfort of a covering - in leather, fabric or mesh - which, being kept taut only by fixing to the sides, becomes an integral part of the joint. With an extraordinary sense of adventure, Charles and Ray Eames turned their boundless curiosity and enthusiasm to the creations that established them as an extraordinary husband-and-wife design team. Their exclusive synergy has led to the creation of furnishings with a completely innovative look. Slim and modern. Fun and functional. Elegant, sophisticated and wonderfully simple. This was and is what distinguishes the “Eames look”. Herman Miller, Inc. based in Zeeland (Michigan), is an American office furniture and furnishings company. Some products that have entered the history of industrial design are the Equa chair, the Aeron chair, the Noguchi table, the Marshmallow sofa, and the Eames Lounge Chair.
