The Eames Aluminum Group Management Chair is one of the most important contributions Charles and Ray Eames made to modern design. The sleek look of the chair, its minimalism and classic lines, all combined to create an iconic look and a breathtaking profile. Surely amongst the most renowned of the mid-century design pieces.

What's To Like: This is a beautiful piece of modern art...for you to sit in. How often do you get an opportunity to just cold sit on a world-renowned work of art? But it's not just beautiful. This chair is also adjustable and suited to working long hours at a desk. Comfortable and adaptable to lots of different situations and office styles, this is a chair for all seasons. In the boardroom, behind a desk, and under your butt, it always looks and works great.

What's Not to Like: Sitting on a masterpiece isn't cheap. Even though this is a classic case of getting what you pay for, you do have to make a bit of an investment in a chair like this. Also, if you're the type of person who demands a lot of padding, this chair might not be for you.

The Bottom Line: This is an all time classic. And while the price is a bit higher than your average office chair, this work of art is worth every penny. Comfortable, gorgeous, and famous.

Leather Options

• Stock Leather: Chromium free and from Austria this stock Herman Miller leather is a winner for most. With a matte, soft feel this is the most popular leather used on Herman Miller upholstered items.
• Open Line Leather: Austrian by birth, yours by choice. Open Line leather is closest to the stock Herman Miller leathers but available in a wider array of colors.
• Dream Cow Leather: With a gentle calfskin grain (it's not calfskin though, its European full grain aniline dyed cowhide), this leather is soft and comes in many great colors to accent your decor. This is a leather of great versatility, perfect when Royal Hide is out of budget, but where the look is wanted.
• Metallic Dream Cow Leather: A gentle calfskin grain (again, not calfskin but European full grain aniline dyed cowhide), infused with metals and soft shine, on cowhide for huge versatility. Updated, offbeat, moody colors.
• All Grain Leather: Not too big - not too small - just "All Grain". Color and quality together wedding grain and color, always with a feeling of luxury. European full grain aniline dyed cowhide powered by Crypton, "All Grain" becomes an easy choice for high traffic areas and commercial offices.
• Royal Hide Leather: This versatile leather is the most beautiful of its kind. The color range is huge, reflecting its broad applicability. It will develop a rich patina over time, making it a great heirloom, eliminating the need for reupholstery. A European full grain aniline dyed cowhide leather with no limits - sky, earth, sea.
