Characterised by a series of plush cushion pads, strategically placed along an enveloping seat base, the EA 207 Chair features a chromed or powder-coated aluminium base and is upholstered in a selection of premium fabric finishes that will give any home, workspace or public setting a deep sense of style and comfort.
Thoughtfully realised, the chair emphasises the mechanics of the seat itself, with the nature of the frame and cushions showcasing the transparent approach to design adopted by the Eameses. First produced during the modernist era, the Vitra Eames EA 207 Soft Pad Chair has been a popular mainstay of the furniture industry ever since, with the immediately recognisable aesthetic an emblem of the time in which it was created.
American husband and wife design duo Charles and Ray Eames have had a profound influence on the visual character of American life, producing original work within the fields of architecture, furniture design, industrial design, manufacturing and the photographic arts.
The Eames’ first partnered with Vitra in 1957 to produce some of the most iconic pieces of furniture in the history of interior design. Today Vitra continues to reflect their philosophy on design and functionality, best understood through Charles’ own words: “Recognising the need is the primary condition for the design”.
