The Aluminium Chair is one of the greatest furniture designs of the 20th century.
The Aluminium Chair stands out for its intelligent combination of materials. The covers are attached inside the aluminium profile sections and simply stretched over the frame, transforming them from mere coverings to a load-bearing part of the structure. It adapts to fit the body snugly and delivers great comfort, even without extensive upholstery.
Materials:
die-cast aluminium structure, high-frequency welded upholstery.
Design:
Charles and Ray Eames, 1958
Manufacturer:
Vitra
