Eames Outdoor Aluminum Group Chairs

$900.00

The great portfolio of Charles & Ray Eames is widely celebrated and serves as a model of inspiration for designers to this day. One of their most recognizable designs is the Aluminum Group collection which Herman Miller continues to produce to this day. The collection began as a commission for outdoor seating in the early 1950’s for the home of J. Irwin & Xenia Miller, known as Miller House, in Columbus, Indiana. While the Eames’ masterful engineering of this new design became a production hit at Herman Miller in 1958, their original outdoor variation which started it all simply did not withstand the elements. Today, Herman Miller has put the outdoor version back into production made possible by modern-day materials.

Herman Miller has adapted the Eames Aluminum Group Dining Chair into a durable outdoor-grade design piece by cleverly strengthening each component of the chair. The Herman Miller “Outdoor Weave” was developed to mimic the original Alexander Girard textile employed by Charles & Ray, but based on the woven construction from the company’s famed modern day Aeron Chair. The Outdoor Weave contains no PVC and will maintain both its color and shape over time. Lastly, the iconic aluminum frame of the chair has been completed powder coated in a sleek Gunmetal Gray. The combination of the Outdoor Weave sling and powder coated frame create a chair which is capable of withstanding the unpredictable elements of the outdoors.
