The Timeless Legacy of the Eames-Style EA117

Its suspended ribbed leather on an aluminium frame gives flexible support that still looks fresh today. Our premium reproduction honours every authentic detail while making this mid-century modern classic accessible to professionals throughout Europe.

Premium Materials and Expert Craftsmanship

We build every chair with the highest standards so it feels and performs like the original – only better value for your budget.

Material Transparency and Quality Assurance

Unlike cheaper copies that use thin fabric or pigmented leather, our chair uses genuine full-grain aniline-dyed Italian leather – the most natural and breathable grade. The frame is true die-cast aluminium, not stamped metal. Foam density is high for lasting shape. This is the premium replica that EU buyers trust for daily office use.

Unmatched Comfort and Ergonomics for Long Workdays

Yes, this chair swivels a full 360 degrees, tilts gently and adjusts in height from 48 to 57 cm seat height. The ribbed thin-pad leather gives flexible lumbar support while staying cool during eight-hour computer sessions. Height-adjustable for perfect desk fit, gentle tilt for relaxed posture, and smooth casters make reaching your keyboard or files effortless.
