The Eames Executive Chair Replica for $4,715 Less

The licensed Herman Miller Eames Executive Chair starts at $5,385. This reproduction brings the button-tufted Time-Life/Lobby look to your office for $669.95, saving $4,715.05 before any licensed upgrades.

You still get top-grain leather, substantial cushioning, adjustable height, locking tilt, and a five-year warranty. What you are not paying for is the Herman Miller label. This is an independently produced reproduction, and we say that plainly.

Eames Executive Office Chair | Top Grain Leather

The Executive Chair uses 4.5 inches of seat cushioning and 3 inches of back cushioning, shaped into the three button-tufted sections that give the Time-Life chair its distinctive look. Padded armrests complete the broad, cushioned sitting area without turning it into a bulky task chair.

The chair is upholstered in top-grain leather across the seating surfaces. Choose black or brown for the classic boardroom look, white or light brown for a lighter office, or green and dark blue for a more distinctive finish.

Eames Executive Office Chair | Top Grain Leather

A standard gas rod raises the seat from 17.5 to 19.9 inches, giving you 2.4 inches of adjustment for your desk. The chair swivels through 360°, so you can move between your desk, storage, and meeting space without dragging the base across the floor.

When you want to lean back, the chair tilts from 100° to 125°, then locks at your preferred angle. Smooth-rolling casters keep the chair mobile while the five-star aluminum base keeps its formal profile grounded.

Choose the Executive When Presence Matters

Choose the Executive / Time-Life chair when you want the broadest, most formal silhouette in the Daedalus Eames office-chair range. Its button-tufted cushions and substantial width give it the presence to sit behind a founder’s desk, around a conference table, or in a private office where the chair is part of the room.

Choose the Soft Pad when you prefer individually cushioned horizontal panels, or the Aluminum Group when you want the lightest and slimmest profile. Our Eames office-chair chooser compares all three side by side.

Eames Executive Office Chair | Top Grain Leather

The Executive name can make this chair sound like a towering high-back task chair. It is not. The Time-Life/Lobby design creates presence through its 29.5-inch width, deep cushioning, and button-tufted back rather than through extra height.

That lower, broader shape is part of what makes it recognizable, but it also takes up more visual and floor space than the Aluminum Group. Check the 29.5-inch width and 26.8-inch overall length against your desk and available floor area.

Your chair is delivered in days from California or New Jersey warehouse. Shipping is free within the United States, with 1 to 2 business days for handling and 3 to 5 business days in transit. Total delivery time is generally 4 to 7 business days.

Your chair travels in a protective carton with padded foam and is covered by a 5-year warranty.

I know it might seem silly, but I can't help it. However, I want to make sure that it works for everyone. If you're on the bigger side, just double check the seat width measurements to ensure a perfect fit. As for me, I'm of average weight and I'm loving how comfortable it is!

The box arrived in perfect condition and the contents were just as clean as I had hoped. I had read some great reviews about how easy it was to put together and let me tell you, it really is easy! I was able to do it all on my own, but just needed a little assistance from my lovely hubby in the final step. Overall, I highly recommend this chair and am so glad I found it.

LOOOVE THIS CHAIR! I searched high and low for the perfect one for almost half a year before finally taking the plunge, and let me tell you, it was so worth it. Every time I sit in it, I feel like a king! And whenever I have to sit in those generic office chairs during meetings, I can't help but feel a little sorry for my colleagues, LOLL. This chair is just so stylish and comfortable, I don't know how I ever lived without it!

Solid and robust frame. Smooth casters. Nice color (brown) and soft leather. It came well packaged and easy to assemble. The seat pad is a little firm at first try; if it beds in I might need to upgrade the rating.

I've bought their Eames Lounge Chair a few months ago for my living room. And as always, they really put great care on the packaging. I decided to get this chair for my home office. It's super solidly built and boasts some seriously soft leather. Plus, it's got smooth sliding and turning capabilities, making it the perfect office chair. The balance between firmness and cushion is just right, making it a high-quality choice. Just keep in mind, it's on the larger side, so you might want to throw a pillow or pad behind your back for extra comfort. Trust me, you won't regret giving this chair a try! As a repeat customer, I can vouch for Daedalus Designs.

If you're searching for a fancy, midcentury modern office chair, you should definitely check out this option. Trust me, your wallet will thank you!

WHERE YOU’VE SEEN US

Frequently Asked Questions

Our team is here to help every day, 24/7

Have a question? We’re just a message away. Email us at [email protected], and we’ll get back to you shortly.

Is the Executive a replica, a dupe, or the real Eames?

This is an independently produced Eames Executive Chair replica, not a Herman Miller original. It reproduces the button-tufted Time-Life/Lobby Chair and should not be confused with the Aluminum Group Executive or Soft Pad Executive. Daedalus Designs is not affiliated with Herman Miller. For a closer comparison, see our Eames chair original vs. replica guide.

Is the Eames Executive Chair comfortable for a full workday?

It is built around deep, adjustable desk-chair comfort. The seat has 4.5 inches of cushioning, the back has 3 inches, and the armrests are padded. A 22.8-inch-wide seat, 18.5-inch seat depth, adjustable height, locking tilt, and 360° swivel let you set the chair around your desk and preferred sitting position.

What is the Eames Time-Life or Lobby Chair?

It is the design family behind this Executive Chair. Charles and Ray Eames originally developed the Lobby Chair for the Time-Life Building in New York. The more upright desk version was released in 1961 and later became known as the Eames Executive Chair. Its three button-tufted cushions and broad, lower profile distinguish it from the slimmer Aluminum Group and Soft Pad chairs.

Which Eames office chair should I buy: Executive, Soft Pad, or Aluminum Group?

Choose this Executive / Time-Life chair when you want the broadest, most formal silhouette and deep button-tufted cushioning. Choose the Soft Pad for individually cushioned horizontal panels, or the Aluminum Group for the lightest, slimmest profile. Our office-chair chooser compares all three side by side.

How adjustable is the Executive Chair?

A standard gas rod adjusts the seat height from 17.5 to 19.9 inches. The chair swivels through 360°, tilts from 100° to 125°, and locks at your preferred angle. Smooth-rolling nylon casters make it easy to reposition around a desk or conference table.

What are the Executive Chair’s dimensions and weight capacity?

The chair measures 26.8 inches long, 29.5 inches wide, and 33.1 to 35.4 inches high. The seat is 22.8 inches wide and 18.5 inches deep, with an 18.9-inch seat-back height. The chair weighs 44 lb and supports up to 350 lb. Check the overall width and length against your desk and available floor space before ordering.

What leather and colors does the Executive come in?

The upholstery is top-grain leather, with button-tufted panels across the seat and back. Choose black or brown for the classic boardroom look, white or light brown for a lighter office, or green and dark blue when you want more color in the room.

How much does the Daedalus Executive Chair cost, and what protection is included?

The Daedalus Executive Chair costs $669.95. The licensed Herman Miller version starts at $5,385, making the difference $4,715.05 before licensed upgrades. Your purchase includes free 4-to-7-business-day US shipping, a five-year warranty, assembly-video guidance, and a 30-day return window when the chair remains new, unused, and unassembled, with its original packaging and labels intact.


REPRODUCTION CLARIFICATION

This product is an independently produced reproduction, not a Herman Miller or Vitra original. Daedalus Designs is not affiliated with either company.
