Eames Soft Pad Group
Charles & Ray Eames, 1969

The design of the Soft Pad Group dates from the year 1969. In terms of both construction and shape, the Soft Pad Chairs are similar to the design of the Aluminium Group. However, their sewn-on cushions create a striking contrast to the slender aluminium profiles. The Soft Pad Chairs are softer and more voluptuous than the chairs in the Aluminium Group, but without losing the clean clarity of their common silhouette. The chairs adapt to the body of the sitter and provide extraordinary comfort.
Soft Pad Chair EA 219 - Work
Eames Soft Pad Chair EA 231 - Home Office
Soft Pad Chair EA 208 – Conference
Soft Pad Chair EA 216 - Lounge
The Soft Pad Group is a comprehensive family of chairs suited for use in the home and office, as well as in public spaces: the EA 205/207/208 models offer luxuriously soft seating for upscale meeting and conference settings, while EA 222/223 is an exceptionally comfortable lounge chair and ottoman combination.

Mounted on a swivel base and available with backrests in various heights, the EA 217/219 chairs complete the product group, while the EA 231 – with a tilt mechanism, but without castors – is an ideal choice for the well-appointed home office. Thanks to this wide range of models, a variety of base options and a choice of fabric or leather upholstery in many different colours, customers can find the perfect Soft Pad Chair for every interior.
