Aluminium Group EA 104 — Dine

Designed by Charles and Ray Eames in 1958 for the private home of an art collector in Columbus, Indiana, the Aluminium Group remains one of the defining furniture achievements of the twentieth century. Rather than a rigid seat shell, Eames stretched fabric or leather between two aluminium side members — creating a seat that flexes with the body and delivers exceptional comfort without heavy upholstery.

The EA 104 belongs to the dining sub-family of the Aluminium Group — lighter, narrower, and higher than the lounge models, with a seat geometry designed for comfortable, dynamic sitting at a table. With armrests and a swivel base, it adds ease of movement at the table without sacrificing the pared-back elegance the Aluminium Group is known for. Available with a polished aluminium, chrome-plated, or powder-coated base, and a wide selection of fabric, mesh, and leather upholstery.
