AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Office chair ICF Aluminium Group EA117, swivel, with a polished aluminum frame, 4-star base with feet and red hopsack fabric upholstery. The chair is in good condition, with a cut in the fabric at the front and light signs of wear on the fabric and on the aluminum, as shown in the photo.
The Aluminium Chair is one of the greatest design achievements 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 (USA). For its realization, the designer duo abandoned the shell-seat principle, instead stretching a panel of fabric or leather between two aluminum side elements to create a seat that is taut yet elastic. The chair adapts to the body of the person and is very comfortable, even without complex padding.
