Now considered a classic of 20th century design, the Aluminum Chair by Charles and Ray Eames was created in 1958, and since then it has been manufactured uninterruptedly until today. It was created for a private home in Columbus, USA, built by architects Saarinen and Girard. In the Aluminium Chair, the Eameses adapted the shape of the seat to the structure of the chair by stretching the fabric or leather between the two parts of the structure, thus making it rigid while maintaining its elasticity. This elastic form allows it to adapt easily to the contours of the body, gradually, thus increasing the comfort of the seat.
Such an enthusiastic design was perfectly received by critics and the public alike, giving rise to a complete range of models for the Eames Aluminium Group: the Aluminium Chairs EA 101, 103 and 104 (especially suitable as dining chairs), the models EA 105, 107 and 108 (used more in meeting rooms), the Aluminium Chairs EA 115, 116 and EA 124, 125 form two seating groups, and the versions EA 117, 118 and 119 are the work chairs of this product family. The seat tilt mechanism can be adjusted to the user's weight for optimum comfort.
Charles and Ray Ames, a husband and wife artistic couple, worked in the fields of industrial and graphic design, fine art and film, and are responsible for numerous designs that have become classics of the 20th century. They were pioneers in the use of new techniques and materials such as fiberglass and plastic resin in the manufacture of chairs, and their creations can be seen in the Design Museum in London and the MoMA in New York, among many others.
