The great portfolio of Charles & Ray Eames is widely celebrated and serves as a model of inspiration for designers to this day. A momentous chapter in said portfolio is devoted to an important commission the Eames’ team received to design furniture for the Time Life Building in New York City which included a series of tables and most important; the Eames “Time Life” Executive Chair.

The Eames’ intentions were to capture the comfort of their popular Eames Lounge Chair in a more streamlined fashion using lessons learned from their Aluminum Group range. The shown model is the earliest of the suite. This iteration chair features a swivel base equipped with tilt and height adjustment, perfect for achieving optimal comfort. While Herman Miller continues to produce a contemporary version of this classic design, this shown 4-star base is often more desirable than the new base produced today.

Object Refinery has chosen to retain this chair’s original Black leather. The material shows patina from years of use and appreciation, a look which simply cannot be replicated with new leather. Our team has thoroughly polished the aluminum hardware bringing it up to a brilliant shine while still allowing for some patina to be displayed. The result is an Eames' icon ready for yet another life.
