AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

ICF Aluminium Group EA117 office chair, swivelling and height-adjustable, with a polished aluminium frame, base mounted on 5 wheels and white leather upholstery. The chair is in good condition, with slight signs of wear and a corner of the leather damaged, as shown in the photo.

The Aluminium Chair is one of the greatest design pieces of the 20th century. Charles and Ray Eames conceived and designed this chair in 1958 for the private residence of an art collector in Columbus, Indiana (United States). For its construction, the designer duo abandoned the shell-seat principle, instead stretching a panel of fabric or leather between two aluminum side members to create a seat that is taut yet supple. The chair conforms to the body and is very comfortable, even without elaborate padding.
