Eames Aluminum Group Executive Chair

Charles and Ray Eames for Herman Miller 

This Eames Aluminum Group High-Back Executive Chair by Herman Miller is a refined expression of modern office design, originally conceived by Charles and Ray Eames in 1958. Instantly recognizable for its elegant proportions and architectural clarity, the chair features a high-back profile with continuous horizontal ribbing, polished aluminum armrests, and a sculptural five-star aluminum base with casters, offering both visual balance and effortless mobility.

At the core of the design is the Eameses’ innovative “sitting pocket” construction, where the seat and back upholstery are tensioned between aluminum side ribs rather than padded from beneath. This distinctive engineering allows the chair to subtly respond to the body, delivering natural ergonomic support while maintaining a light, streamlined silhouette.

Designed for both comfort and performance, the chair is equipped with a pneumatic height adjustment, smooth swivel, and adjustable tilt mechanism, making it well-suited for extended daily use. The polished cast aluminum frame and five-star base provide exceptional strength and stability, while the blue leather upholstery finished with precise horizontal ribbing adds a crisp, sophisticated presence that pairs effortlessly with both modern and mid-century interiors.
