ICF - Charles Eames - Chair - EA117 - Leather, Aluminium

ICF Aluminium Group EA117 office chair, swiveling and height-adjustable, with a polished aluminum frame, base mounted on 5 wheels, and white leather upholstery. The chair is in good condition, with minor signs of wear and a damaged corner of the leather, 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 creation, the designer couple abandoned the shell-seat principle, instead stretching a panel of fabric or leather between two aluminum side elements to create a taut yet elastic seat. The chair conforms to the body and is very comfortable, even without complex padding.
