The Story behind the EA 208 Soft Pad Office Chair
The Eames' 1969 'Soft Pad' series of office chairs followed on from the 1958 'Aluminium Group': the EA 208 shares the EA 108's four-star, aluminium pedestal base and steel armrests, but luxurious padded cushions replace the earlier chair's slender ribbed seat. The high-backed EA 215 soft pad chair is also available and both chairs can be ordered in eight shades of aniline leather.

ABOUT THE DESIGNER
Charles Eames
Charles, 1907-1978 (United States) - Ray, 1912-1988 (United States)
Charles Eames was an American designer and innovator who pioneered new techniques, such as the fibreglass and plastic resin moulding and wire mesh frames. He usually worked alongside his wife, Ray, though he is often credited alone. In the 1940s, the designers began focusing on the new plastics and were excited by the properties the material held. They were able to mould the plastics into organic shapes that followed the shape of the body. This discovery led to a whole new look in furniture that perfectly captured the spirit of the times. The couple’s most iconic designs include the DAR chair, the DSR Dining Chair, the RAR Rocker, the DSW Dining Chair, the EA 108 Office Chair and the Wire Base Table. Many of these were first presented at the New York Museum of Modern Art’s Low-Cost Furniture Design Competition in the late 1940s.
