Eames Office Chair Replica – Genuine Leather & Aluminium

Eames Office Chair Replica — Genuine Leather, Polished Aluminium Base

The Eames Aluminium Group is among the most enduring office chair designs ever produced — clean lines, a low-profile silhouette, and a suspension system that distributes weight across the seat and back without bulk. Our eames office chair replica collection brings that same aesthetic and structural logic to your workspace at a price that reflects the replica market honestly: you are buying a high-quality reproduction, not a Vitra or Herman Miller original.

Every chair in this range is upholstered in genuine leather and sits on a polished aluminium 5-star base — the two details that most often separate a chair worth owning from one that only looks right in a photo. Cheap replicas cut costs on both: synthetic PU that cracks within two years, and a steel base painted to look like aluminium. We do not sell those.

The Models: EA117, EA119, EA217, ES104 and More
EA117 & EA119 — Ribbed Seat, Low and High Back
The EA117 is the low-back management chair, with leather-covered suspension panels giving that characteristic ribbed look — ideal for meeting rooms and executive desks where a lower profile suits. The EA119 is the high-back version, with better lumbar and shoulder support for longer sessions. Both come on the polished aluminium 5-star base with smooth-rolling casters for hard floors and carpet.
EA217 & EA219 — Soft Pad, Low and High Back
The soft-pad variants add individual leather cushion panels front and back for a more upholstered feel. The EA217 (low-back) and EA219 (high-back) are the preferred choice for anyone at a desk six or more hours a day — the cushions compress and recover independently. These are our most popular eames office chair replica models.
ES104 — Executive & Management
The ES104 moves into executive territory: a taller back, broader seat, and deeper cushioning, upholstered throughout in genuine leather. Available in management (mid-back) and full executive (high-back) configurations.
Mesh Management Chair
For those who prefer airflow over cushioning, we stock a mesh-back management chair on the same polished aluminium base — passive ventilation with a leather-padded seat.

Ergonomic Features — What the Mechanism Actually Does

Pneumatic gas lift — smooth single-lever height adjustment that holds its position.
Ergonomic tilt mechanism — seat and back tilt together with adjustable tension; lock it at your preferred recline or leave it free-floating.
360-degree swivel on smooth dual-wheel casters for hard floors and carpet.
Armrests — fixed on base models, height-adjustable on executive configurations.

What to Check Before Buying an Eames Office Chair Replica

Leather grade — genuine leather resists cracking; “PU” and “bonded” leather are not leather in any meaningful sense.
Base material — polished aluminium is heavier and cooler to the touch than painted steel.
Casters — smooth dual-wheel casters should roll without resistance; stiff/rattling ones mean low-grade plastic.
Tilt mechanism — should engage smoothly with adjustable resistance, not wobble or click.
Gas lift quality — a good cylinder holds its set height under load without shuddering.
Seat padding density — on soft-pad models the cushions should resist and recover, not compress flat.

Every eames office chair replica we sell is assessed against these criteria.

Colours and Upholstery
Genuine leather in the Aluminium Group tradition means restrained options: black (most specified), ivory/cream for lighter interiors, and tan/cognac for warmer aesthetics; some models in dark brown. Availability varies by model — check individual product pages.

An Honest Note on What These Chairs Are
These are eames office chair replicas — high-quality reproductions of a publicly available design. They are not manufactured by Vitra or Herman Miller, are not sold with those brands’ authorisation, and do not carry their guarantees. What they offer is the same design language, genuine leather upholstery, and polished aluminium construction at a fraction of the original price.

Eames Office Chair Replica — Frequently Asked Questions
Is the leather genuine or PU/bonded?
All chairs in this collection are upholstered in genuine leather — not PU, bonded, or “faux” leather. Genuine leather has natural grain variation and a lifespan measured in years; PU and bonded leathers crack and peel within one to three years. If a product page does not specify “genuine leather,” contact us before ordering and we will confirm.
Which EA model should I choose, and does back height matter?
Back height is the primary decision. For four hours or fewer a day, the low-back EA117 or EA217 is sufficient and gives a cleaner profile. For six-plus hours, the high-back EA119 or EA219 provides meaningful lumbar and shoulder support. Ribbed (EA117/EA119) is firmer and cooler; soft pad (EA217/EA219) is more upholstered. The ES104 executive chair suits a larger frame and a more formal context.
What ergonomic and tilt features are included?
All chairs include a pneumatic gas lift, a synchronised tilt mechanism with adjustable tension, a tilt-lock to hold your preferred recline, and a 360-degree swivel on dual-wheel casters. Armrests are fixed on base models and height-adjustable on executive configurations.
What leather colours are available?
Black is available across the full range and is always in stock. Ivory/cream and tan/cognac are available on most models, subject to stock; dark brown on selected models. Availability is listed on each product page — email support@decomica.com if a colour isn’t showing.
How long will a genuine-leather Eames office chair replica last?
With normal office use (one user, five days a week) a well-made genuine-leather replica on a polished aluminium base should last seven to ten years before the leather shows significant wear; the base and mechanism typically outlast the upholstery. Annual leather conditioning extends surface life. Every chair carries a 2-year warranty against manufacturing defects.
What are the shipping, returns, and warranty terms?
