Premium Eames Mesh Office Chair EA 117 - Enchanting Low Back | White

If you spend most of your working day in a chair, the one you choose matters more than most people admit. The Eames Mesh Office Chair EA 117 was designed with that in mind. Low back, breathable mesh, clean lines - it is the kind of chair that works as hard as you do without making your office look like a call centre.

This model is available in White, Black, and Orange. Each colour is the same chair underneath - same frame, same mesh quality, same ergonomic build. The colour just changes the mood of the room it goes into.

Why This Chair Works for Long Days

Most office chairs either look good or feel good. Getting both in the same chair at a reasonable price is harder than it should be. The EA 117 mesh design solves this by keeping the back panel open, which means air moves through the chair rather than trapping heat against your back. If you have ever finished a long work session feeling like you have been sitting in a sealed bag, you will understand why this matters.

The low back height keeps the chair proportional to most desks and works well in rooms where you do not want the chair to dominate the space visually. It sits lower than a high-back executive chair but gives you enough lumbar contact to stay comfortable through a full working day.

How It Fits Into Your Setup

The white version works best in bright, minimal home offices with white or light wood desks. It disappears into the room in a good way - you notice the desk and the work, not the chair. The black version is more versatile and suits almost any desk colour or room tone. The orange is a deliberate choice - it works when you want the chair to be part of the room's personality rather than just functional furniture.

Pair it with a simple desk lamp, keep the desk surface clear, and the EA 117 does the rest. It is not a chair that needs much help to look right.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose a low back chair over a high back for a home office?

A low back chair like the EA 117 works well in smaller rooms or at desks where a tall chair back would feel visually heavy. It keeps the space feeling open and uncluttered. If you sit for moderate periods and do not need full shoulder support, a low back mesh chair is often the more practical and better-looking choice for a home setup.

Is the EA 117 suitable for people who are shorter than average?

Yes. The low back height and adjustable gas lift make the EA 117 a good fit for shorter users. The seat can be lowered enough to allow feet to sit flat on the floor at most standard desk heights, which is important for comfortable posture during extended use.

How does the white version of this chair hold up over time?

The white mesh and frame are durable under normal use. White does show dust more visibly than darker colours, so occasional wiping with a damp cloth keeps it looking clean. The mesh itself does not absorb stains the way fabric upholstery does, which makes maintenance straightforward.

Can I pair this chair with a standing desk?

Yes. The EA 117 works well alongside a sit-stand desk. When you lower the standing desk to seated height, the chair's gas lift adjusts to match. The low back profile also means the chair tucks neatly under the desk when not in use, which matters in smaller home offices.

Does this chair require any tools to assemble that are not included in the box?

No. Everything you need to assemble the chair is included in the packaging. Most customers complete the setup in around 15 minutes without needing anything from their own toolkit. The main sections connect with straightforward bolts and fittings.
