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 306EN is an armless side chair, cushioned 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.
