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. Vitra has produced Aluminium Group chairs in the same
superior quality for decades. This experience allows us to offer a 30-year
warranty on all of the chair models in the Aluminium Group.
