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.

Button-Tufted Comfort You Can See and Feel
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.
Adjust It to Your Desk, Then Lock It In
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.

Dimensions & Fit
The Executive / Time-Life chair has a broad, button-tufted silhouette. A standard gas rod adjusts the seat height from 17.5 to 19.9 inches so you can set it for your desk.

Best for What to expect Behind a substantial desk A broad, button-tufted silhouette with more visual weight than the Aluminum Group or Soft Pad. Conference rooms Cushioned leather and a formal profile without the height of a tall-back task chair. Smaller workspaces Check the 29.5-inch overall width and 26.8-inch length against the available floor space.
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.
Broad and Formal, Not Extra Tall
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.
Delivered in Days and Backed for Five Years
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
