Charles and Ray Eames EA 119 Office Chair

Price: SOLD

What started as an idea for a solid piece of leisure furniture has grown into one of the most popular office furniture since its design in 1958. The EA 119 is part of the famous Aluminum Chair group. Designed by the Eames couple and produced by Vitra, it stands out from its peers due to its high backrest. The ingenious construction consists of a seat and backrest covered with upholstery fabric. The frame, side profiles, armrests and crossbars are made of cast chrome aluminum.  The five-star base is made mobile by the attached wheels and ensures maximum comfort with the integrated reclining mechanism. The Vitra Aluminum Chair EA 119 cuts an excellent figure behind the desk, which is why it is appreciated not only in prestigious offices, but also in the home office. Tilt swivel and adjustable base works good. Signed with manufacturer’s mark underside and back.
