Characterised by a series of plush cushion pads, strategically placed along an enveloping seat base, the EA 207 features a stark chromed aluminium base and is upholstered in a selection of premium Track fabric finishes that will give any home, workspace or public setting a deep sense of style and comfort.
Thoughtfully realised, the chair places an emphasis on the mechanics of the seat itself, with the nature of the frame and cushions emphasising the transparent approach to design adopted by the Eameses. First produced during the modernist era, the Vitra Eames EA 207 has been a popular mainstay of the furniture industry ever since, with the immediately recognisable aesthetic an emblem of the time in which it was introduced.
American husband and wife design duo Charles and Ray Eames have had a profound influence on the visual character of American life, producing original work within the fields of architecture, furniture design, industrial design, manufacturing and the photographic arts.
The Eames’ first partnered with Vitra in 1957 to produce some of the most iconic pieces of furniture in the history of interior design. Today Vitra continues to reflect their philosophy on design and functionality, best understood through Charles’ own words: “Recognising the need is the primary condition for the design”.
