Materials & Construction of EA217 Soft Pad
The ea217 soft pad chair is upholstered in Italian aniline leather. Leather upholstery, fire resistant and high-resiliency foam are used in each soft pad panel. The polished chrome aluminium frame carries ribbed arms and a five-star castor base fitted with non-marking wheels that roll smoothly over hardwood, tile and carpet.
Eames Soft Pad Management Chair Design Heritage
Charles and Ray Eames released the soft pad collection in 1969, which consisted of smaller, cushioned panels for the slim aluminium frame.
The low-back model is called the management chair, the EA217, and the EA219 has a taller back. This is a faithful reproduction with proportions and details similar to the original EA217 design.
Why the Black Soft Pad Variant?
Compared with cream or camel leather, black leather can make minor scratches and colour variations less noticeable during everyday use. The eames office chair black is suitable for modern office interiors, minimalist office and mid-century style office interiors.
Choosing the EA model: Soft Pad or Ribbed?
Both soft pad models (low-back (EA217) and high-back (EA219)) have a more upholstered feel to them, with thicker individual cushion panels. The ribbed models (EA117 and EA119) have narrower leather channels for a slimmer, firmer profile.
Depending on the working position and posture, the low-back EA217 offers comfortable support when working at the desk.
