1. Management or Lider Office
Chair - A Classic Piece of
Modern Furniture

2. Management chairs designed by Eames became famous
right after they were introduced in 1958. This is a
graceful piece of furniture and dawns home or workplace
equally well. The versatility of this chair lets you choose
what you want from it. It is a statement of long-lasting
excellent design.

3. Although it may sound weird but the management chair,
which was originally designed for outdoor seating
furniture, continues to beat any other piece in modern
and classic furniture. The making of this timeless item
began with a challenge by Aluminum group to world
biggest furniture designers. Eero and Alexander, who
were designing Columbus, Indiana for Irwin Miller,
wanted a high-class and durable chair for outdoor
seating. The simple, straight line, clean design makes it
perfect seating option for both classic modern or hip and
modern workplace.

4. The original designs have changed over time. The original
painted arms for outdoor environment have gone away
and have been replaced by metallic chrome plated steel
frame finish. It originally belonged to the Leisure group
for a lack of focus on high-class outdoor furniture.
Charles and Ray Eames never chose design over comfort
or style more than substance.

5. The chair has a wonderful suspension that not only creates
an ideal pocket for seating but also conforms to body
shape. Suspension was created by elongating a single
piece of back seat upholstery tightly between light
aluminum ribs. It is ribbed at equal intervals of 1 7/8" for
neat and elegant looks. There are so many options that
you can make it ideal lounge, dining or a lounge chair.
The seat back suspension technology used in this piece
was a marvel when it was first made in 1958. It clearly
marked the dawn of comfortable, lightweight and strong
chairs and the end of solid shell era.

6. Since its base is a die-cast of aluminum and the ribs are
curved aluminum, the chair is light and strong. Most of
the original ones are made of 61 percent of recycled
material and recyclable up to 88% after their life is over.
It has a rolling five pronged base, locking tilt and
adjustable height. Leather/pleather cushion and the flexi
suspension provides long-term comfort to the person
sitting on it.

7. Being a versatile chair, it's easy to move and can be used
in multiple spaces. The 360 degree swivel and gas lift
make it versatile. It is available in Black, White, Red,
brown, Terracotta, Red and Pistachio colors. Some
companies even manufacture it in fabric upholstery. Most
of the original and reproduction are often seen in leather
upholstery. The better the leather, the more pricey the
piece is.

8. The length of the chair is 18 inches, width being 23", and
the height is adjustable. The Management chair is test for
persons up to 300 pounds and is available with casters
or glides. It is very wonderfully designed according to the
anatomy and dynamics of human body. The tilt swivel
action allows the users to adapt the chair to their current
task. Herman Miller produces the original management
chairs whereas Alphaville Management chair is a
reproduction. Zuo Modern Lider Office chair and Director
office chair are close replica of Management Chair.
