Icons of aluminum

Without a doubt, the aluminum chairs are one of the most important furniture designs of the 20th century. In 1958 Charles and Ray Eames designed the aluminum chair for a private house in Columbus. The principle of the seat shell left the designer pair and stretched spring-tight leather and fabric panels between two aluminum side panels. The chair also adapts to the body without the need for elaborate upholstery and offers a high degree of comfort. For decades, Vitra has been producing the aluminum chairs in an unrivaled quality, providing 30 years of warranty on all aluminum Group chairs. The aluminum chair 107/108 is ideal for meeting rooms, but also makes a good dining chair.
