Aluminium Group Chairs
Eames Collection
Charles & Ray Eames feature among the most important figures of twentieth century design. Their work is multi-faceted: they developed funiture, produced films and photographs, organised exhibitions and designed and built their own house as a pioneering endeavour. Vitra has produced and marketed the furniture designs of Charles & Ray Eames since 1957. First producing under license, Vitra obtained exclusive rights to all Eames products for Europe and the Middle East in 1984. Consequently, we are the sole legitimate manufacturer of Eames designs in this part of the world. The brand gives you the security of owning an original product by Charles & Ray Eames.

The characteristic feature of the Aluminium Chair is its intelligent combination of materials. Its form is clear and transparent, the design structure clearly visible. Because the seat material is fitted between the side sections, it readily adapts to the body and offers comfort without requiring extensive upholstery. The seat material is not a cover, but a supporting element of the construction.
