1:1 inspired version following the Eames design — genuine leather, polished aluminium, full upper-body support at a fraction of the original.
A timeless icon since 1958 — the Eames Tall Back Executive Chair commands any room it enters. This 1:1 real leather inspired version captures the graceful silhouette, innovative suspension, and premium materials of the original, with the added comfort of full-height back support. Available in black leather with polished aluminium frame.
Key Features
1:1 Real Leather Upholstery
Genuine full-grain leather in black — soft to the touch, breathable, and ages beautifully with a natural patina. Unlike bonded or faux leather, this is the real thing.
Innovative Suspension Design
A continuous piece of seat-back upholstery is stretched tautly between lightweight aluminium side ribs, creating a firm yet flexible "sitting pocket" that subtly conforms to your body's shape. No springs, no padding — pure design-engineered comfort.
Tall Back Silhouette — Full Upper-Body Support
The tall back design extends support all the way up to your shoulders and head — ideal for those who want a commanding presence with complete comfort. A statement piece for executive offices, boardrooms, and premium reception areas.
Polished Aluminium Frame
One-piece curved aluminium side ribs and a die-cast aluminium 5-star base with smooth-rolling casters. Strong, lightweight, and visually striking.
Versatile Placement
Equally at home in corporate settings (executive offices, boardrooms, premium receptions) and residential spaces (home studies, master bedrooms, reading lounges).
2-Year In-House Warranty
We stand behind every chair with a full 2-year warranty on all functional components.
