Eames EA 117 Thin Pad Ribbed Office Chair — Low Back | Cream

The Eames office chair in its warmest, most refined low-back colourway. The EA 117 is a low-back, ribbed thin pad office chair inspired by the legendary Eames Aluminum Group — first designed by Charles and Ray Eames and produced under licence by Herman Miller and Vitra. Our Eames style office chair faithfully recreates the iconic low-back silhouette in cream leather — a warm, luminous tone that brings understated elegance and freedom of movement to any executive office or home workspace.

Cream is the most refined of the light EA 117 colourways — warmer than pure white, softer than ivory, and effortlessly versatile. The charles eames office chair in cream leather works beautifully in Scandinavian, contemporary, and warm-toned offices where the iconic low-back silhouette needs to feel inviting rather than stark. This is charles eames furniture at its most elegantly agile.

The Story Behind the EA 117

The Eames Aluminum Group was first introduced in 1958 by Charles and Ray Eames — a collection of chairs produced by Herman Miller in the USA and Vitra in Europe that redefined what an office chair could be. The EA 117 is the low-back version of the family — the eames executive chair in its most compact, agile form. Our eames leather office chair replica in cream honours that legacy at a fraction of the price of the original herman miller office furniture.

How does cream differ from white and ivory white?
Cream is the warmest of the three — a soft, slightly golden tone that feels more inviting than pure white. Ivory white is slightly cooler and crisper. Pure white is the most stark and contemporary. Cream is the most versatile for warm, Scandinavian, and natural office interiors.

What is the difference between the EA 117 and EA 119?
The EA 117 is the low-back version — more compact and agile. The EA 119 is the high-back version — full upper back, shoulder, and neck support. Both are eames type chairs from the same Aluminum Group family.

Is the EA 117 suitable for long hours at a desk?
Best suited to working sessions of a few hours. For full-day desk work, the eames chair for office use at its most supportive is the EA 119 high back in Cream.
