EA 219 Desk Chair

EA 219 is an office chair from the Swiss brand Vitra. The chair was designed by Charles and Ray Eames in 1969. The desk chair is characterized by a high backrest and a swivel seat with adjustable height. The chair is equipped with a tilt mechanism that can be adjusted to the user's weight and locked in the desired position. The seat and back are upholstered in fabric or leather with sewn-in polyurethane foam cushions, which provides a distinctive visual expression and cushioned comfort. Side profiles, armrests and footrests are made of cast aluminum. It is a stylish and neat chair that fits just as well in an office environment as at home at the desk.

The desk chair is considered a modern icon and the chair was originally developed by the Eames couple for an art collector's home in Columbus, Indiana.
