Vitra launches the EA101 and EA103 Aluminium Dining Chairs

For visual impact the new EA101 and EA103 (a variation on the Aluminium Group Chair) on the Vitra stand in Milan was hard to beat. The Aluminium Group chair is a design icon in its own right and at home in any office but Vitra have slimmed it down, made it lighter and adjusted the sitting position so it's more conducive to dining environments. It's been launched in a total of 25 Hopsak fabrics which, with their two tone weaves, gives the chair a softer, more domestic feel. Maximum impact can be created by mixing and matching fabrics for a real show stopping look. For practicality it also comes in 3 colours of 'Netweave' - Vitra's more robust plastic webbing fabric. The two models differ in that the EA101 comes without arms whilst the EA103 has arms - ideal if you want a dining chair and carver. Both models are available now for delivery in May.
