Eames Aluminum Group Side Chair

Description

Eames Aluminum Group Side Chair 

The chair in the photo is an example of the Eames Aluminum Group Side Chair, a landmark design created by Charles and Ray Eames in 1958. This chair is part of the iconic Aluminum Group series, originally developed as high-end outdoor seating but later embraced as an elegant indoor office and meeting chair.

A defining feature of the Eames Aluminum Group Side Chair is its clean, sculptural aluminum frame combined with a suspended “sling” seat, where the upholstery is stretched between the side supports instead of using bulky padding. This creates a visually light profile while still offering surprising comfort.

• Ribbed upholstery: The horizontal stitched panels on the seat and back are a signature element of the Aluminum Group aesthetic. The bright blue fabric in the photo emphasizes these lines.

• Armless silhouette: The side chair version has no armrests, giving it a sleek, minimal appearance and allowing it to fit easily in smaller spaces.

• Four-star aluminum base: The polished metal base in the image is typical of early and contemporary versions of the chair. Its low, slightly splayed legs reflect the Eames’ focus on stability with minimal material.

• Slim, curved backrest: The gentle curve of the back shown in the photo follows the ergonomics the Eames refined through years of experimentation with molded forms.

Despite being designed over six decades ago, the Eames Aluminum Group Side Chair still feels current and adaptable—an example of how good design remains relevant in any setting.
