Vitra Eames Aluminium Chair EA 101

The Vitra Aluminium Chair EA 101 by Charles and Ray Eames is ideal for use in combination with tables: in comparison to the other models in the Aluminium Group, the EA 101 is somewhat lighter, narrower and higher. Thanks to the wide selection of subdued or bright upholstery colours, it is easy to find the perfect chair for any dining room interior.

The Vitra Eames Aluminium Chair models EA 101 / EA 103 & EA 104 models differ in the type of base – fixed or swivel – and whether they come with armrests.

Charles and Ray Eames conceived and developed this chair in 1958 for the private residence of an art collector in Columbus, Indiana (USA). For its construction, the designer couple departed from the principle of the seat shell, instead stretching a panel of fabric or leather between two aluminium side members to create a taut but elastic seat. The chair adapts to the body of the sitter and is exceedingly comfortable, even without elaborate upholstery.
