Vitra - Aluminium Chair EA 124 lounge chair

Vitra Eames Aluminum Chair EA 124.

For the construction, the Eames used a seat shell, instead of the then usual panel fabric or leather, and the use of two aluminum profiles also stretches the fabric for a firm, yet comfortable elastic seat. The chair adapts to the body and is extremely comfortable, even without inner upholstery.

The high backrest and pillow provide sublime comfort. This chair is also equipped with a tilting mechanism that can be adjusted to the weight of the user. The lounge chair is 65 centimeters wide, 98.5 centimeters high and 78 centimeters deep. The seat height is 30.5 centimeters. In combination with the matching ottoman (footstool) EA 125, this is a perfect pair!

The Vitra Aluminum Group includes different models for use in homes, offices and public spaces. Thanks to this wide range of models, a variety of aluminum bases with a polished, chrome or black powder-coated finish and wide range of colors for fabric or leather upholstery, the perfect Aluminum Chair for any environment can be created.

Vitra has been producing the chairs from the Aluminum Group of the same superior quality for decades. Thanks to their experience, they can offer a 30-year warranty on all chairs of the Aluminum Group.

The designers:

Ray and Charles Eames were an American designer couple whose name is known to anyone with an interest in modern design. Charles Eames was born in 1907 in St. Louis, Missouri. He studied architecture at the University of Washington and, at the invitation of the Finnish architect Eliel Saarinen, continued his studies at the Cranbrook Academy of Arts, Michigan in 1940. There he met Eero Saarinen, with whom he entered a competition called " Organic Design in Home Decor" organized by MoMA in New York. Eames and Saarinen won the competition using a plywood molding technique originally developed by Alvar Aalto. In Cranbrook, Charles Eames also met her future wife Ray, and the couple married in 1941.
