Soft Pad Chairs EA 217/219 – Work

Charles & Ray Eames, 1969

The models EA 217 and EA 219 are the office swivel chairs in the Soft Pad Group by Charles and Ray Eames. Their dignified aura makes them especially suited for management areas. The extraordinary comfort of the chairs results from the combined effect of their tilt mechanism, which can be adjusted to the user's weight, and the soft fabric- or leather-covered upholstery. The higher backrest of EA 219 distinguishes it from the Soft Pad Chair EA 217.

Eames Soft Pad Group

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. Vitra has produced the Soft Pad Chairs in the same superior quality for decades. This outstanding quality allows us to offer a 30-year warranty* on all the chairs in the Soft Pad Group. 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. Thanks to this wide range of models, a variety of bases with a polished, chrome-plated or black finish, and a choice of fabric or leather upholstery in many different colours, customers can find the perfect Soft Pad Chair for every interior. *To benefit from the extended warranty, your product must belong to the Eames Soft Pad Group and have been purchased from a certified dealer after 1 September 2003.
