The Eames EA217 office chair is one of the most recognisable executive seats of the 20th century — part of the celebrated Eames Aluminium Group first introduced in 1958 and still found in boardrooms, design studios and high-end offices worldwide. Decomica’s faithful replica of the Eames EA217 office chair recreates that iconic low-back, soft-pad silhouette in genuine leather and polished aluminium, giving you the look and comfort of the original at a fraction of the price.
Why choose the Decomica Eames EA217 office chair replica
We have specialised in mid-century furniture replicas for years, and the EA217 is one of our most-requested office chairs. Every chair we ship is inspected by our own team before dispatch — we check the leather grade, the weld points on the aluminium frame and the action of the swivel and tilt — because the gap between a good replica and a poor one lives in exactly those details.
Key features
- Soft-pad cushioning in genuine soft leather, hand-stitched into the classic panelled design
- Polished, hand-buffed chromed-aluminium frame and five-star base with a mirror finish
- Height-adjustable gas lift, 360° swivel and a lockable tilt mechanism
- High-resilience, fire-retardant foam that holds its shape through years of daily use
- Smooth-rolling chrome-top castors, suitable for hard floors and carpet
How to spot a quality EA217 replica
From our experience handling these chairs every week, three things separate a quality reproduction from a disappointing one. First, the base should be cast aluminium — lift it and it should feel genuinely heavy, not the lightweight zinc or plated steel that chips at the stress points. Second, the upholstery should be genuine leather over high-density foam, so it stays supportive rather than flattening within a year. Third, the tilt and swivel should move smoothly and lock firmly. Our EA217 meets all three.

Lovely chair. Everything is very good quality and great looking. The only negatives are that the seat doesn’t lower very far and the lowering handle differs from the picture. Other than that, fabulous value and well made

Great value. There are lots of Eames replicas on the market and I did my research before buying. For those that are fussy, the lever arm ball finial is steel but the oval clamp handle and the two circular silver caps on the ends of the frame under the seat are plastic but are good quality. All other silver components are steel and well finished (much smoother than on another Eames copy we have). The leather work looks pristine and has a slightly matt finish. I expect this will start to shine in use. The customer service was excellent. All told, I’m very happy and would buy again.

Nice quality for the EA 217 office chair. Better than expected! a few plastic details, but all in all worth the money.
A non replica is €3500 and this was rough €400

Help to work!. This office chair is quite firm. It doesn’t invite you to nap. Perfect for work. It looks nice. The armrests are quite cold and not very soft. Purchase completely in accordance with the advertisement. Easy to assemble and very short delivery time.
