Vitra Soft Pad Chairs EA 215/216 Armchair

Vitra Soft Pad Chairs EA 215/216 were designed by Charles & Ray Eames in 1969. The model EA 216 has a swivel seat, in contrast to the fixed base of EA 215. Both avaiable in different high quality fabric or leather upholstery. The seat is not particularly low and is easy to rise from, which makes these chairs ideally suited for lobbies, lounges and waiting areas. With their high backrest and soft upholstery, the Soft Pad Chairs EA 215 and EA 216 by Charles and Ray Eames remain comfortable even for prolonged sitting periods.

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.
