Charles and Ray Eames' penchant for discovering new form and function in seating is readily apparent in their soft pad group. The side chair's sleek base contrasts with the 2" thick pads which the group is named after.

The most basic Eames Soft Pad Chair is the side chair version. The side chair version is a very flexible chair, a chair that can work in a lot of different environments and do a lot of different things. It has the same basic seat as the management version, and the same basic seat back. But the side chair lacks the polished aluminum arms that exist on all the other versions of the chair. That makes the chair different for both obvious and more subtle reasons. On the obvious side, the chair just looks different. The look of the chair, when you take away it's arms, is really striking. The profile of the chair, the curve of the back and the elegant look of the cushions, is much more exposed and pronounced when the arms of the chair aren't bounding it between them. The exposure makes the unique look of the chair even more pronounced and obvious, and therefore more striking, more sculptural, more like artwork.

It also, of course, makes them look like a side chair, a chair that serves primarily as a stopgap, an extra chair for when it's needed. Chairs like that are obviously helped when they look so striking, when they can serve a purpose in a room beyond function and literally improve the design and the beauty of the room. The Eames Soft Pad Side Chair is a somewhat reserved, lovely, and elegant art piece in any room. But what kinds of rooms can it best serve you within?

The Eames Soft Pad Side Chair is one chair in the series of four that is useful in both the home and the corporate office. In both places, it has similar functions, as well as highly specialized ones. In the home, it actually has more uses because the home serves more purposes and hosts more events. In the home, the Eames Soft Pad Side Chair can serve in your kitchen, your living room, and even in a covered outdoor area. It can be a fixture of your bedroom, or your child's bedroom. In all of those areas the side chair is not a centerpiece or a hugely important element in the design scheme of the room (in the kitchen scenario it would be underneath the table an mostly be a centerpiece in terms of incredible comfort), but it is always an improvement and a great option when it comes to seating. In the bedroom it can serve as a great make-up chair, or a small desk chair. In the kitchen or the dining room it's a dining chair. The Eames Soft Pad Chair looks and feels great in every room of the home, practically, and that's they way it was built.

One-piece curved aluminum side ribs and 5-star aluminum base and glides for use on carpet or hardwood floor. 2"-thick upholstered cushions, swivel mechanism, fixed seat height.

Leather Options

  • Stock Leather
    Chromium free and from Austria this stock Herman Miller leather is a winner for most. With a matte, soft feel this is the most popular leather used on Herman Miller upholstered items.
  • Open Line Leather
    Austrian by birth, yours by choice. Open Line leather is closest to the stock Herman Miller leathers but available in a wider array of colors.
  • Dream Cow Leather
    With a gentle calfskin grain (it's not calfskin though, its European full grain aniline dyed cowhide), this leather is soft and comes in many great colors to accent your decor. This is a leather of great versatility, perfect when Royal Hide is out of budget, but where the look is wanted.
  • Metallic Dream Cow Leather
    A gentle calfskin grain (again, not calfskin but European full grain aniline dyed cowhide), infused with metals and soft shine, on cowhide for huge versatility. Updated, offbeat, moody colors.
  • All Grain Leather
    Not too big - not too small - just "All Grain". Color and quality together wedding grain and color, always with a feeling of luxury. European full grain aniline dyed cowhide powered by Crypton, "All Grain" becomes an easy choice for high traffic areas and commercial offices.
  • Royal Hide Leather
    This versatile leather is the most beautiful of its kind. The color range is huge, reflecting its broad applicability. It will develop a rich patina over time, making it a great heirloom, eliminating the need for reupholstery. A European full grain aniline dyed cowhide leather with no limits - sky, earth, sea.
