Eames Style Soft Pad Office Chair EA 217 | Low Back | Tan Brown Genuine Italian Leather
The eames soft pad chair in warm, inviting Tan Brown — the iconic low-back executive form. The EA 217 is inspired by the Eames Soft Pad Group, first introduced by Charles Eames in 1969 and produced under licence by Herman Miller and Vitra.

Warm cognac tan leather against the polished aluminium frame pairs beautifully with walnut furniture, natural wood desks, and warm-toned office interiors.

The Story Behind the Eames Soft Pad Chair
The Eames Soft Pad Group was introduced by Charles Eames in 1969 as an evolution of the Aluminum Group — adding individually cushioned leather pads to the iconic frame for a warmer, more luxurious feel. Produced by Herman Miller in the USA and Vitra in Europe, the eames soft pad chair became the definitive eames executive chair for those who wanted both design heritage and genuine comfort. The charles eames furniture legacy lives on in the EA 217 — a benchmark of eames mid century furniture design in the workplace.

Craftsmanship:
Why Eames Herman Miller Is Different
Unlike the countless cheap reproductions flooding the market, our Eames-inspired lounge chair is crafted to the same exacting standards as the original. We refuse to cut corners — where other sellers use low-grade plywood, thin veneers, and synthetic leather, we use only the finest materials and traditional craftsmanship techniques.
What Sets Us Apart
- 8-layer plywood shell — engineered for strength and the perfect flex, not the flimsy 5-layer shells found in budget copies
- Full-grain Italian aniline leather — genuine premium leather, not the bonded or PU leather used by cheaper alternatives
- Hand-selected walnut veneer — each shell is individually matched for grain consistency and beauty
- High-density foam + down-filled cushions — for comfort that lasts years, not months
- Hand-stitched detailing — precision stitching by skilled craftsmen, not machine-sewn shortcuts
- Die-cast aluminium base — solid and weighty, not the hollow cast bases found on imitations
- Italian Aniline Leather — Hand-sewn, welted and piped cushions
- Rubber Shock Mounts — Signature Eames reclining comfort
- 360° Swivel Base — Chrome or Black
- 2-Year Warranty & Free UK, Europe and USA Delivery
- No Import Tax, Duty, VAT or any Hidden Charges like Other Companies
