With pleasing proportions and exquisite materials, the Eames Executive Chair wears its name proudly. Yet, this 1959 design is known by an alias: the Time-Life Chair. Charles and Ray designed it for the lobbies of the Time-Life Building at Rockefeller Center.

Comfort comes first with the Eames Executive Chair. Its seat has 4-1/2-inch-thick foam cushions; the back cushions are 3 inches thick. Armrests are well padded.

Adjustable seat height, tilt-swivel mechanism, and a five-star base add to the comfort. Available with casters or glides, the chairs can work well in a conference room, board room, conversation area, or behind a desk.
