Story
The chair has gone on to become one of the pair's most iconic designs in the intervening 50 years. As with everything the Eames did a real sense of quality prevails. The attached padded sections of the cushions, upholstered in high-quality Vitra leather, form an interesting contrast to the elegant chrome-plated aluminium frame, making the Soft Pad Chair softer and plusher, without detracting from its transparency and clear lines. The models comprising the Soft Pad Group are suitable for a large number of uses: in the office, in conference and reception areas, and also at home. The EA 216 has a swivel base.
