    Soft Pad EA 231 — Home Office

    The EA 231 is Vitra’s home office addition to the Soft Pad Group — equipped with an adjustable backward tilt mechanism and an upright seat angle adapted to desk work. Designed without castors, it does not resemble a typical task chair; its casual, inviting appearance makes it a natural fit for any well-appointed home office.

    It features a medium-height backrest with armrests, seat height adjustment via gas spring, and swivel function. Sewn-on cushions use polyurethane foam padding, set within die-cast aluminium side profiles and spreaders.

    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.
