    Manufacturer: Vitra | Designer: Charles & Ray Eames, 1969

    This is an original, genuine Vitra piece. Vitra provides a 30-year guarantee on all Soft Pad Group chairs.

    Soft Pad EA 208 — Conference

    The EA 208 is the swivel model in the Eames Soft Pad Group — the only chair in the trio to combine armrests with a rotating base, making it the natural choice for those who want the full Soft Pad experience at a desk or dining table. It shares the slim aluminium frame of the Aluminium Chair but adds stitched, padded cushions for a softer, more generous seat, retaining the graphic precision that made the original Eames design iconic.

    In the early years of production the cushions were filled with down feathers. Vitra later switched to foam for improved longevity and a deeper sink-in feel — a change that raised the seat position slightly. The ‘new height’ option sits two centimetres lower to restore the original seating position.

    For more information on available fabrics and leathers, visit the Vitra Colour & Material Library.

    Upholstery grades

    • Fabric 80 Cosy 2 — Heavy Use — High-quality milled woollen cloth with a warm character. The lively melange yarn emphasises the fabric's natural colours – from delicate shades to vibrant hues – and gains added elegance with colour-coordinated stitching. The fabric offers thermal comfort and excellent durability, making it suited for upholstered furniture in office settings as well as residential applications. Available in 15 colours.
    • Fabric F120 Track — Heavy Use — A medium-weight woollen fabric with a subtle pattern of fine diagonal stripes, which gives it a sporty, fresh appearance. Track comes in a large selection of colours– from natural pastel shades or neutral tones to strong, bright hues. This makes it easy to find the right colour for any setting. Thanks to its high quality, the fabric is suited for office environments, but also adds a beautiful touch to home interiors. Available in 25 colours.
    • Leather L20 — Heavy Use — The standard grade leather used by Vitra is a robust cowhide leather, dyedthrough, pigmented and embossed with an even grain pattern. Since it is hardwearing and easy to maintain, it can also be used in office environments. Available in 16 colours.
    • Leather L50 — Leather Premium F — Medium Use — Relatively smooth cowhide with a flat grain and fine top sheen. Dyed-through and lightly pigmented, tanned with an agent extracted from olive tree leaves. Available in 22 colours.
