Seller's Notes:The lithe chairs of the Eames Aluminum Group have been a popular design classic since their introduction in 1958. Given that these chairs are so popular in interiors, it is interesting that the inspiration for them developed because of the need for high-quality outdoor seating. Eero Saarinen asked Charles and Ray to produce the Eames Aluminum Group Collection as a special project for his and Alexander Girard’s Irwin Miller House in Columbus, Indiana. While working on the chairs, the husband-and-wife team often referred to them as the “leisure group” or the “indoor-outdoor group.” The latter is revealing of the Eameses’ design philosophy. They strived to make their products perform well in addressing as many needs as possible. That a chair would work outdoors and indoors was part of their original concept. Herman Miller began manufacturing the Eames line of aluminum furniture in 1958, and they continue to sell the chairs and the matching ottoman today.
