  • 01st January 1958

The swivel-based models EA 117, EA 118 and EA 119 – the task chairs in the Aluminium Group by Charles and Ray Eames – add an iconic presence to prestigious office environments. They are equipped with a tilt mechanism that can be adjusted to the weight of the user, providing for optimum comfort. With a broad selection of upholstery colours, it is easy to find the perfect chair for every office environment. The models EA 117 and EA 118 are distinguishable from EA 119 by their lower backrests. EA 118 also has a somewhat narrower seat, and the sitting position of this model is more specifically suited for table-oriented activities.
