Charles and Ray Eames
Aluminum Group Chair
Issue Date: June 17, 2008
City: Santa Monica, CA
Answering a need for high-quality furniture that could be used indoors or out, Charles and Ray Eames designed their elegant and innovative Aluminum Group Chairs in 1958.
Adhering to their design philosophy, the couple created a chair that could be mass-produced, was comfortable and affordable. For the Aluminum Group Chair, the Eameses developed a unique new suspension concept. Stretching fabric between curved aluminum supports, they created a flexible sitting pocket that conformed to the body for firm, yet comfortable, support. The chair’s high back supported the head. Appropriate for use in homes, offices, and public places, the chairs were available in dining, lounge, and recliner models, plus with an ottoman. Aluminum Group Chairs were available in ribbed Naugahyde or mesh fabric upholstery.
In 1962, using the sling system developed for the aluminum chair, the Eameses created the Tandem Sling Seating, a multiple-seating system for Washington’s Dulles and Chicago’s O’Hare airports. In 1969, the Aluminum Group Chair became available in a Soft Pad version.
In 2008, the Eames Aluminum Group Chair was featured on a 42¢ stamp, one of a pane of 16 issued by the U.S. Postal Service to honor the contributions of Charles and Ray Eames to American design.
