Eames Inspired Thin Pad Ribbed Office Chair EA 117 – Low Back Leather Office Chair

Bring mid-century modern elegance and low back ergonomic freedom to your workspace with the Eames EA 117 Thin Pad Ribbed Low Back Office Chair — a designer-inspired chair that fuses iconic Eames aesthetics with all-day comfort. Featuring a distinctive channel-stitched ribbed leather backrest, polished aluminium frame, and agile low back profile, the EA 117 is the chair of choice for creative professionals, managers, and design-led workspaces. Available in 7 premium colourways: White, Black, Orange, Tan Brown, Ivory White, Brown, and Cream.

Why Choose the Eames EA 117 Ribbed Thin Pad Low Back Chair?

The EA 117 Ribbed stands apart from standard office chairs. Where most low back chairs sacrifice style for function, the EA 117 uses a slim, ribbed leather pad construction — a hallmark of the original Eames Aluminium Group design. The low back profile supports the lumbar spine while freeing the upper back and shoulders for greater movement — ideal for dynamic, active work styles. If you want a leather office chair with genuine design heritage and low back agility, the EA 117 Ribbed is your chair.
