Description from the seller

The chairs of the Aluminium Group are the best-known designs by Charles and Ray Eames. They were created in 1958 and belong to the classics of 20th-century design history. Aluminium profiles give the chair stability and lightness at the same time. In the side parts the mesh upholstery is attached and freely tensioned, so it conforms to the body and offers comfort even without elaborate padding.
The swivel chair frame is made of chrome-plated aluminum, the mesh fabric is made of black plastic.
The chair has a seat height of about 43 cm, a height of 90 cm, a width of 62 cm and a depth of about 72 cm.
The chair is in a very good, used condition.
