Iconic and timeless elegance. The Eames Aluminium Group Management Chair is a mid-century modern masterpiece by Ray and Charles Eames, made in USA by Herman Miller. New RRP $5200 AUD. Condition: preowned, rare A+ grade with near perfect arms and very clean mesh. Red fabric by Herman Miller and leather editions by ICF are also available. Elegance in form and technique: the graceful silhouette sits equally well in all kinds of home and workplace interiors. An enduring design, originally commissioned as outdoor seating in 1958, the Eames Aluminium Group has been in demand ever since. It is uncanny how a chair designed in 1958 as outdoor seating still manages to look both classic and contemporary in twenty-first century interiors. The chairs' clean, trim lines make them appropriate for all kinds of places, from homes to elegant offices to hip start-ups. Aluminium Group chairs, upholstered in traditional fabric or leather, are ribbed at 1 7/8-inch intervals for a clean, refined appearance. In addition to powder coat finishes and polished aluminium, the base and frame are available in eggplant, an archival colour that beautifully complements black leather upholstery. Never being ones to favour style over substance, Charles and Ray Eames gave their designs an innovative suspension that creates a firm, flexible sitting pocket that conforms subtly to the body's shape. They created that suspension by stretching a continuous piece of seat-back upholstery tautly between lightweight aluminium side ribs. Aluminium Group seat pads have a layered construction with fabric or leather upholstery. Cygnus mesh is a self-contouring, flexing material available on Aluminium Group chairs to provide aeration, even weight distribution and long-term comfort. Designed specifically for the Eames Aluminium Group, Cygnus is an elegant option. Executive and management models have seat-height and tilt-swivel adjustments.

ABOUT THE BRAND
Herman Miller — a century of human-centred design
Founded in 1905 in Zeeland, Michigan, Herman Miller has spent over a century designing furniture that improves the lives of those who use it. Long before ergonomics became an industry buzzword, Herman Miller was pioneering it — commissioning the landmark 1960 Propst 'Action Office' study and building the research infrastructure that would define modern workplace design.
Today, Herman Miller chairs are the benchmark against which all others are measured. Used in the world's leading architecture firms, technology companies, and design studios, they represent the intersection of scientific rigour and timeless aesthetics. When you sit in a Herman Miller, you're sitting on decades of human factors research.
ABOUT THE MODEL
The Eames Aluminum Group — a modern classic
Designed by Charles and Ray Eames in 1958, the Aluminum Group began not as office furniture but as elegant seating for a private home commissioned by Eero Saarinen and Alexander Girard. The Eameses suspended a single panel of fabric or leather between two slim aluminium ribs, creating a seat that contours to the body without any visible padding or frame.
More than sixty years on, it remains one of the most recognisable chairs ever made and is still produced by Herman Miller today. Equally suited to the executive office, the boardroom and the home study, the Aluminum Group is that rare thing: a genuine piece of design history that is also a thoroughly comfortable place to work.
