Product Details
About the Designer
Charles & Ray EamesCharles & Ray Eames United States

Charles Ormond Eames, Jr (1907–1978) and Bernice Alexandra "Ray" (née Kaiser) Eames (1912–1988) were American designers, who worked in and made major contributions to modern architecture and furniture. They also worked in the fields of industrial and graphic design, fine art and film.

Introduced in 1958 as a special project by Ray Eames for a private residence being designed by Eero Saarinen and Alexander Girard, the Eames Aluminum Group originally was specified as "leisure furniture." Now used in numerous locations, their classic lines and comfortable suspension have kept them in demand for numerous years and spaces, from contemporary homes to elegant offices and hip startups.

The Design
  • Aluminum Group chairs were originally developed in 1958 as a special project by Ray Eames for a private residence being designed by Eero Saarinen and Alexander Girard.
  • At the time, the furniture was called the "leisure group," or "indoor-outdoor group" since it was meant to address the lack of quality outdoor furniture on the market.
  • The seat-back suspension was a major technical achievement and represented a departure from the concept of the chair as a solid shell.
  • Wonderfully comfortable, the chairs became the basis for several other Eames designs, including the Soft Pad chairs.

Features at a Glance:
  • Unique Suspension
    • Continuous piece of seat-back upholstery is stretched tautly between aluminum side ribs
    • Firm and flexible "sitting pocket" subtly conforms to body's shape
  • Sitting Comfort
    • Layered vinyl cushioning within fabric or leather upholstery
    • Cygnus™ mesh material designed specifically for Eames Aluminum Group seating
    • Cygnus is a self-contouring, flexing material that provides aeration, even weight distribution, and long term comfort
Distinctive Aesthetic
  • Unmistakable Look
    • Ribbed at 1.875" intervals
    • Clean, refined appearance
    • Cygnus mesh option gives a lighter-scaled, translucent quality
Earth Friendly Modern Construction
