The Aluminium Chair is one of the most remarkable design pieces of the 20th century. Designed by Charles and Ray Eames in 1958 for the private residence of an art collector in Columbus, Indiana, it redefined the concept of seating. Instead of a traditional shell, the designers stretched fabric or leather between two aluminium side profiles, creating a seat that is both firm and flexible. The chair naturally adapts to the body, offering exceptional comfort without the need for complex upholstery.

Charles and Ray Eames
Charles and Ray Eames were an American couple of industrial designers who made a significant contribution to the development of modern architecture and design. The couple gave expression to the post-war American social movements, shaping their design around the needs of society. Their works, in fact, were meant to be accessible to everyone and were made using simple materials and lines. Among their best-known design pieces are the Eames Lounge Chair and the Eames Dining Chair, still available on the market today and internationally recognized.
