Quick Summary Of Classic Chair Reviews

Looking at the Eames Aluminum Group chair it's difficult to believe that it's 50 years old this year.

Its classic looks come from its minimalist design where the fabric is in a single continuous piece stretched over the aluminum frame.

The chair is still being made today to the same design, although it now has a 5 star base for stability.

It also comes in thicker Soft Pad upholstery which spoils its looks. However, the mesh Cygnus upholstery introduced more recently looks great.

It's offered in medium and high back options, with or without arms.

It may lack some of the adjustments found on more modern chairs, but you can't beat its quality and looks.
