Eames

　　Outdoor Aluminum Group Chair - Gray - Charles and Ray Eames Herman Miller

　　Product Description:

　　Making a return to the outdoors 

　　Originally

　　developed as an outdoor chair for the Eero Saarinen and Alexander

　　Girard-designed home of industrialist J. Irwin Miller, the Eames Aluminum Group

　　offers maximum comfort with a minimal profile. Newly updated with a range of

　　highly durable finish options including Outdoor Weave fabric, the Aluminum

　　Group Lounge Chair, Side Chair, and Ottoman are once again ready to return to

　　their roots—outdoors.

　　Take it outside

　　To ready

　　the chairs and ottoman for outdoor use, we developed a new fabric that would be

　　durable enough to weather the elements and still feel good against the skin.

　　Outdoor Weave retains the spirit of the original 1958 polyester saran and

　　builds off the technical capabilities of the Aeron chair’s Pellicle suspension

　　material. Outdoor Weave combines a sturdy monofilament polypropylene for

　　strength and elasticity, with four multifilament polypropylene yarns to give it

　　a great look and feel. It’s also recyclable and contains no harmful PVC. It is

　　available in several tones selected to complement the choice of powder-coated

　　frames.

　　Creative

　　craft

　　The assembly of the Eames Aluminum Group Outdoor is as

　　crucial an element of its design as how it feels to sit in. The Eameses not

　　only designed each element of the chairs and ottoman, but also the process by

　　which they are crafted. We do it the same way today as it was done in 1958.

　　A

　　continuous piece of Outdoor Weave is fed between the aluminum ribs which are

　　then turned inside out and attached to the cross members. Because of this

　　process, the chair offers considerable comfort and support without any of the

　　bulk or weight of a traditional upholstered chair. The fabric itself becomes

　　the seat, with a firm, flexible “sitting pocket” that conforms subtly to the

　　body’s shape.

　　Durability

　　and use

　　With one-piece, curved aluminum side ribs and a die-cast

　　aluminum base, the chair is strong, yet lightweight. To make it easy to move,

　　the upper cross member doubles as a handle.

　　Available with or without arms, the Eames Aluminum Group

　　Side Chair Outdoor is suitable for any location where a dining-height chair is

　　called for and naturally complements our range of Eames Tables Outdoor.

　　The

　　Eames Aluminum Group Lounge Chair Outdoor pairs perfectly with the matching

　　Eames Aluminum Group Ottoman, or works equally well as a cluster of multiple

　　chairs around a low table for an informal sitting area.

　　Product Condition

　　Chair is in very good overall condition. If a score had to be given to

　　these chairs, they would probably get at least a solid 8.0 or 8.5 out of 10.

　　Fabric still stretched tight over aluminum frame. To this day, it is still

　　super comfortable/cozy to sit in. These chairs were first started in production

　　14+ years ago (pre-2010), so it really shows you how well these chairs hold up

　　over time, even with heavy outdoor use. Chair rotates a full 360 degrees

　　without issue. No give/pull on the aluminum arm frames, they are still mounted

　　tightly to the frame body. However, please keep in mind that while these chairs

　　are in overall great condition, some of the chairs do have small flaws here and

　　there – such as in some of the top-corners of the chairs (where your shoulders

　　would rest), those parts in some chairs have some small, roughly quarter-sized

　　areas, where the fabric has stretched & frayed a bit, over time. It is

　　pretty minor, and nothing that would affect the long-time durability of the

　　chair. Can stick out a bit, though, to the eye. Doesn’t affect comfortability

　　factor in any noticeable way. In these areas (the chairs tend to only have this

　　“stretching” effect in one area of the chair, and small in area) - the aluminum

　　frame of the chair is exposed in these areas. This is purely a cosmetic

　　imperfection from regular use on a 14+ year old chair. Other chairs don't have

　　this small separation of fabric, but may have a small to medium sized

　　discoloration / staining on the fabric of the chair. Again, this would be

　　purely a cosmetic defect. These chairs really stand the test of time, and can

　　take quite a beating. Other than that, the chairs are in superb condition

　　still. The only other area worth mentioning is the feet of the chairs – on the

　　very bottom of each of the 4 “feet”, there may be signs of scuffs/scratching

　　from somebody (most likely) dragging the chair across the concrete without

　　picking it up first. These are very lightweight (21 lbs), and can be picked up

　　by anyone really, so they are easy to continue preserving that part of the

　　chair, if that’s something you are thinking about. It’s not something you would

　　see without picking the chair up and flipping it upside down first, to be able

　　to even notice. Doesn’t affect chair’s structural integrity in any serious way,

　　very minor thing. Just wanted to make mention of it, though.

　　ShippingShipping is a flat rate of $99.00 anywhere in the U.S. Additional chairs

　　ship for $49.00 extra, per chair.Will ship out SAME or NEXT business day.

　　Ships via UPS Ground (1-5 Days), and all shipments come with

　　Signature Confirmation, as well as Insurance.

　　By default, to reduce the size of the box needed, and to drastically

　　reduce shipping costs, we will disassemble the chairs into (2) large pieces.

　　Near the middle of the chair, directly under the seat of the chair, there are

　　(4) hex screws in place where the frame body keeps the seat securely in place.

　　All we have to do to disassemble the chairs, is to unscrew the (4) hex screws

　　in these locations, and the chair will separate the top-half from the

　　bottom-half. We will wrap these (2) pieces in bubble wrap and other protective

　　packaging materials, and place them inside of a large double-walled heavy duty

　　shipping box.

　　Once the chair arrives to you, all you need to do, is unbox the (2)

　　pieces, place them on top of one another, and then re-install the (4) hex

　　screws into the frame of the chair, and you are good-to-go. We will include

　　detailed instructions (with pictures) in your shipment, should you need

　　step-by-step assembly instructions. It’s really that simple. The only tool you will need for assembly is a 3/16" hex tool, to screw the (4) hex screws into the chair (tool not included). This is all you will need to do for assembly once your chair arrives.

　　If, however, you do not want to mess with installation of the chair

　　upon its arrival to you, we can offer an alternate shipping option, in which

　　the chair will arrive to you 100% fully assembled. This option is more costly,

　　though, so we would assume for most people they would rather save a

　　considerable amount of money by performing a simple screw installation to save

　　$100+ on shipping costs. Fully assembled is considered “oversized” in its

　　dimensions, so that is why the jump in cost is so high. It is because the

　　shipping company charges much more for shipping oversized packages like this.
