Eames Aluminium Group Chairs

Choose the chair for the room

EA 105, EA 107 and EA 108 belong to the conference part of the Eames Aluminium Group. They share a medium-high backrest, a sling seat and a four-star aluminium base. Arm and movement options vary by model. Start with the room plan, table height, meeting length and a consistent visual line. For intensive desk work, compare Vitra’s EA 117, EA 118 and EA 119 work chairs rather than treating a conference model as a general task chair.

Select the sling material

The seat and back can be specified in mesh, fabric or leather. Upholstered versions use welded horizontal ribbing. Consider how the room will be used, how often the chairs will be cleaned, the required colour and the feel expected in client-facing spaces. Ask for current samples before approving a large order, as colours and materials can change.

Set the aluminium finish

Vitra offers the die-cast aluminium profiles, spreaders, armrests and base in polished, chrome-plated or powder-coated finishes, subject to configuration. Review these finishes with the table frame, power modules and other metalwork in the room. Select glides for the floor finish and confirm that chair movement will not obstruct access or cables.

Confirm the project specification

Record the model, upholstery, colour, aluminium finish, glide type and quantity before quotation. Also provide the delivery address, access details and installation programme. Vitra lists a 30-year manufacturer’s warranty for this family, but purchase and registration conditions apply. We can check the proposed specification against the current Vitra range and issue a project quotation.
