The EA 117 aluminium chair with wheels and armrests is a key component of the Aluminium Chair Group, a classic collection that has won numerous awards worldwide and is considered by many to be one of the greatest design successes of the 20th century.
Designed by Charles and Ray Eames in 1958, the EA 117 is a classic example of how this team of husband and wife of worldwide fame combined innovation, vision and new production methods to create very modern furniture that were functional, beautiful and original.
The EA 117 aluminium chair with wheels is simply a triumph of style and technology: investing in this chair means investing in a historic design piece.
This piece, made by ICF, is in a beautiful black colour, with 4 very unique spokes with white feet, original from 1973. The rotating mechanism is perfect, the fabric is impeccable, and the aluminium is polished — truly very beautiful.
