The Aluminium Chair: an icon of the 20th century
The Aluminium Chair by designer couple Charles & Ray Eames is one of the most important furniture designs of the 20th century.
For five decades now, the iconic design of the Aluminium Chair has brought its modern elegance to spaces all over the world. The chairs are equally popular with leading figures from culture, politics, business and entertainment.
A characteristic feature of the Aluminium Chair is its intelligent combination of materials. The cover is fixed into the aluminium side profiles and stretched freely between them. Rather than a mere covering, it becomes a load-bearing part of the construction. It adapts to your body and offers a high level of comfort, even without elaborate upholstery.
Vitra has been producing the Aluminium Chair range in consistently high quality for decades.
