Designed by world-famous 20th century designers, Charles and Ray Eames, the EA 217 Soft Pad Office Chair combines beauty with durability and remains an iconic ‘must have’ for style gurus everywhere.
The EA 217 Chair is part of the famous Soft Pad Group, which was designed in 1969 as a luxurious addition to the Aluminium Group collection of chairs. This range adds sumptuous, square cushions for luxury and comfort, whilst remaining true to the original minimalist silhouette.
Husband-and-wife design team, the Eames are well-known for their ground-breaking ideas and innovative manufacturing processes. Indeed, their use of aluminium, a relatively new material in the 1950s, to design furniture was highly unusual, but led to some of the most elegant and durable chairs ever produced.
Many view the Aluminium Group of chairs as one of the greatest design achievements of the 20th century, and the collection has won numerous awards around the world. The EA 217 takes this award-winning style and design, and brings to it even more luxury and comfort. With its highly polished aluminium frame upholstered in the finest Italian aniline leather, this chair would make a fine addition to any office.
