Modern Mesh Office Chair EA 117 Inspired by Eames Low Back Design | Orange

Orange is not a neutral choice. If you are putting an orange chair in your office, you have made a decision about how that room should feel. The Eames Style Mesh Office Chair EA 117 in Orange is a low back ergonomic desk chair that brings a deliberate burst of colour to a workspace without sacrificing the clean, considered lines that make the EA 117 design worth having in the first place.

This is the same chair as the black and white versions underneath - same breathable mesh construction, same five-star aluminium base, same adjustable height and tilt. The orange just changes what the room says about the person sitting in it.

Why Orange Works in a Workspace

Most office furniture defaults to black or grey because it is safe. Orange is the opposite of safe, and that is exactly why it works in the right setting. A single orange chair in a room of neutral furniture becomes the focal point without needing anything else around it. Creative studios, design agencies, home offices with white walls and light wood floors - these are the spaces where an orange Eames style mesh chair stops being a chair and starts being part of the room's identity.

It also photographs well. If you share your workspace online or use it as a background for content, an orange chair gives the image a centre of gravity that plain furniture cannot.

The Ergonomics Behind the Colour

The EA 117 low back design keeps the back panel at mid-spine height, which suits people who prefer a chair that does not enclose them. The open mesh keeps air moving through the back continuously, so heat does not build up during long working sessions. The low profile also means the chair sits proportionally under most standard desks without the back panel rising above the desk surface when you stand up.

For people who move around a lot during the day - getting up frequently, rotating between tasks, working at different heights - a low back Eames office chair replica like this one tends to feel less restrictive than a high back version. It gives you support when you need it without boxing you in.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will an orange office chair look out of place in a professional setting?

It depends on the setting. In a home office, creative studio, or design-led workspace, an orange Eames style mesh chair works well and adds personality. In a more traditional corporate environment with dark wood and formal furniture, it would stand out more than most people would want. If you are unsure, the black or white versions of this chair are safer choices for formal settings.

Does the orange colour fade over time with regular use?

The mesh material holds its colour well under normal indoor use. Direct sunlight over extended periods can cause any coloured fabric to fade gradually, so positioning the chair away from a south-facing window is worth considering if you want the colour to stay vivid long term.

Is the low back EA 117 better for shorter working sessions than the high back EA 119?

Not necessarily. The low back suits people who prefer freedom of movement and do not need full shoulder support. Some people find low back chairs more comfortable for shorter, more active sessions where they are moving around frequently. Others use low back chairs all day without issue. It comes down to personal preference and how you naturally sit rather than session length.

Can this chair be used at a standing desk when lowered to seated height?

Yes. The gas lift mechanism adjusts to suit most standard desk heights when in seated mode. The low back profile also means the chair tucks neatly under a standing desk frame when not in use, which is useful in smaller home offices where floor space matters.

How does the orange mesh chair hold up if it gets marked or stained?

The open mesh construction means most surface marks can be wiped away with a damp cloth. The mesh does not absorb liquid the way fabric upholstery does, which makes accidental spills easier to deal with. For deeper cleaning, a mild soap solution on a soft cloth works well without damaging the mesh or the colour.
