The Aluminum Group Chair by Charles & Ray Eames is part of the Aluminum Group Collection, where the Eameses explored the use of aluminum for structural components. It was designed and first introduced in 1958 as a commission by Eero Saarinen and Alexander Girard for the Irwin Miller House. The model EA 334EN is an office armchair chair, cushioned, upholstered version in “management height” with glides, adjustable tilt & tension, and pneumatic lift. It features a lightweight aluminum frame with side ribs that hold the one-piece seat-back suspension, creating a flexible padded, upholstered sitting pocket that conforms to the body’s shape. The suspension system provides firm and flexible support for long-term comfort. The Aluminum Group Chairs have become a staple in modern furniture design, instantly recognizable in offices, films and pop culture.
