Aluminium Group EA 107 — Conference

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 107 belongs to the conference sub-family of the Aluminium Group — generously proportioned, with a resilient sling seat and a seat geometry suited to extended periods of focused sitting. Non-swivel and with armrests, it adds a layer of support and presence to the conference setting without compromising the chair’s pared-back character. Available with a polished aluminium, chrome-plated, or powder-coated base, and a wide selection of fabric, mesh, and leather upholstery.
