Office Chairs

The main difference is the armrests. The Eames EA108 has armrests for additional support and a more enclosed seating position, while the Eames EA105 is armless and has a lighter, more open appearance. The EA105 is easier to position side by side around a conference table and can fit beneath more tabletops. The wider EA108 requires more lateral space but is generally better suited to individual seating where arm support is preferred. Depending on the version, the EA105 is available with glides or wheels. Compare the base, upholstery, dimensions and armrest clearance before choosing.

EA108 examples:

• Eames EA108 leather conference chair
• Eames EA108 Hopsack conference chair
• Eames EA108 mesh conference chair

EA105 examples:

• Eames EA105 leather chair on glides
• Eames EA105 mesh chair on glides
• Eames EA105 leather chair on wheels

The main difference is the base. The Eames EA117 has a five-star base with castors, making it easier to move around a desk or workspace. The Eames EA108 has a four-star base with glides and remains more stationary, making it particularly suitable for conference rooms and meeting tables. Both models share the low-back Aluminium Group design, so the choice mainly depends on whether you prefer mobility or a fixed conference-chair base.
