Eames Task Chairs

Herman Miller
The history of base options made available for the Eames Shell Chair Group is a testament to the Eamesian belief that, as Charles said, “Design addresses itself to the need.” It was the need for stylish, expressive seating for offices that inspired the original 4-star base, which was added as an option in 1953. Updated with a 5-star base, swivel-mounted seat, and height adjustment, today’s Eames Task Chairs can be specified with side chair or armchair shells to support a variety of business needs.

A global leader in office furniture, Herman Miller is celebrated for its innovative designs that prioritize ergonomics, sustainability, and aesthetics. Their iconic products—like the Aeron chair and Eames collections—have shaped modern workspaces by fostering comfort, productivity, and well-being. Herman Miller’s commitment to sustainability and human-centered design aligns perfectly with Workscapes’ mission to create healthier, more inspiring environments.
