Following its introduction at the height of the mid-century design boom, the Vitra Eames EA 208 has remained a popular favourite of the furniture industry ever since. Featuring a series of padded sections that come together to form an interesting contrast to the elegant aluminium frame, the Soft Pad Chair is a soft, plush and highly comfortable seating option.
The models comprising the Soft Pad group are suitable for a large number of uses, from the home and office to conference and reception areas - this particular model features a swivel base and premium fabric upholstery in a choice of colourways. Combining comfort with iconic design, the Soft Pad Swivel Chair is certain to become a perennial favourite wherever it is placed.
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”.
