1958

The Alu Chair is undoubtedly one of the most important furniture designs of the 20th century. Designed in 1958 by Charles and Ray Eames for an art collector's private home in Indiana, the chair is a masterpiece of construction and a symbol of modern lifestyle. Instead of a conventional seat shell, the Charles and Ray Eames used a taut fabric or leather panel that is attached between two aluminum side panels. The result is an incredibly comfortable and stylish chair that can still be found in many modern homes today.
