My Favorite Desk Chair

My favorite desk chair is the Eames Aluminum Management Chair. It has beautifully smooth curves and emits classiness. The chair was developed in 1958 by Ray Eames for a private residence which was being designed at the time by Eero Saarinen and Alexander Girard. Then, the furniture was called the "Leisure Group" and was a break-through product due to the seat-back suspension. The upholstery was stretched between aluminum side ribs and was not the solid shell style as was common. I'm partial to the classic black leather which is ribbed at 1-7/8" intervals creating a clean, refined look. You can obtain these chairs through your designer from Herman Miller, or you can choose from several colors at DWR. If you love the chair, but aren't ready for designer prices, Advanced Interior Designs has a knock-off at a reasonable $220.00.
