Available right now we have a stunning pair of early edition Eames Soft Pad Chairs, upholstered in the dreamiest chocolate brown leather. Designed by the iconic duo, Charles and Ray Eames, these chairs are the mid-century gems your space has been waiting for. They’re not just chairs—they’re history, design, and comfort, all rolled into one chic, sun-kissed package.
The Chairs:
These beauties are early examples from the Herman Miller collection, dating back to between 1970 and 1984 (thanks to that black Herman Miller sticker, an instant time stamp for collectors in the know). Their sleek aluminum frames have aged to perfection, with a lovely patina that whispers, "I've seen things," but in the most fabulous way possible. Sure, you could polish them up, but why erase decades of charm? They’ve earned every bit of that character.
The leather? Oh, it's supple, like that perfectly worn-in jacket you never want to take off. Rich chocolate brown, it just oozes style and comfort. And speaking of comfort—let’s not forget what these chairs were made for. The plush, soft pad cushions make lounging, working, or contemplating life feel like a luxury. Trust us, your back will thank you.
Now, for a little sun-kissed drama: one of these chairs has soaked up just a bit more vitamin D than the other, giving it a subtly faded back that adds to its lived-in charm. It's like that favorite spot on the couch that’s perfectly worn from years of use—authentic, cozy, and full of stories. Both chairs are in great shape overall, with plenty of good years left in them to continue their design legacy.
The History:
The Eames Soft Pad Chair was born in 1969, a cushier sibling to the famous Eames Aluminum Group, which debuted in 1958. Charles and Ray Eames wanted to create a chair that was both comfortable and sleek, and the soft pad version added the perfect touch of luxury without losing its minimalist edge. It became an instant favorite for offices, homes, and anywhere you need a mix of comfort and style.
Charles and Ray Eames were a husband-and-wife powerhouse who changed the face of modern design. Charles was the architect, Ray the artist, and together they created some of the most iconic furniture pieces of the 20th century—always blending function with playfulness. They believed design should improve people's lives, and their work ranged from chairs and architecture to film and photography. The Eames Soft Pad Chair is just one of their many contributions to the world of modern design, and it’s still as stylish and relevant today as when they first dreamt it up.
These chairs? They're more than just a place to sit—they're mid century icons with stories to tell, lovingly aged and ready for their next chapter in your home. less
