A stunning Eames chair by Vitra, of recent manufacture, in a delightful full white “snow“ leather upholstery. The white contrasts magnificently with the polished metal finish and stands on castors. Height adjustable and reclinable, the chair offers comfort, design and style like no other office chair on the market. Durable and with the quality one would naturally expect from a company like Vitra, It is “the“ office chair to have.

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.

Charles and Ray Eames are counted among the most important figures of twentieth-century design. Their work spans the fields of furniture design, filmmaking, photography and exhibition design. Vitra is the sole authorised manufacturer of Eames products for Europe and the Middle East and they retail the EA217 chair in leather for starting price of £3770 (climbing to nearly £5000 depending on the configuration of the chair). A superb opportunity to buy the same chair for a fraction of the price.
