Charles and ray Eames developed the designs for the Aluminium group of chairs in 1958, out of a desire to develop a line of furniture that could be used in a wide range of spaces. With a well thought out and practical design, the aluminium frame of the Vitra EA 108 Aluminium Chair is light-weight and available in two finishes, while a material cover, in premium Hopsak fabric, stretches between the aluminium frame, creating a superbly comfortable backrest which adapts to the body beautifully.
