About the Eames EA117
The Eames Aluminum Group was developed in the late 1950s and became one of the most important office chair families by Charles and Ray Eames. Instead of a separate shell, the seat material is held under tension within the aluminium side frame.
This construction gives the chair its clean profile. It feels precise, light and businesslike, but still has the softness needed for longer sitting.
How to choose the Eames EA117
Choose EA108 when the chair is mainly for meetings, conference tables or a cleaner visitor-chair setting. Choose EA117 when desk work and longer task sitting are more important.
Look at upholstery, frame color and floor type before buying. Leather gives a more executive look; fabric or mesh can feel lighter. For wider comparison, view the design stoler category.
