Eames Soft Pad Lounge Chair and ottoman

The Eames Soft Pad Lounge chair’s appearance in Annie Hall only underscores its timeless appeal: effortlessly modern, quietly confident, and endlessly comfortable.

Building on the success of their celebrated Aluminium Group, Charles and Ray Eames introduced a touch of indulgence to functionality with the Soft Pad series (1969). Here, ergonomics meet elegance: soft, sumptuous leather cushions are sewn onto a sleek aluminium frame, transforming a chair once destined for the office into the ultimate modern lounger.

The Soft Pad Lounge Chair EA 222 with its high back, low seat and adjustable tilt mechanism adapts beautifully to the sitter’s body, offering exceptional comfort without compromising on the Eameses’ trademark clarity of form. When paired with the matching Ottoman EA 223, it becomes the perfect place to recline — a quiet haven for reading, reflection or film watching.

Luxurious yet understated, this design icon exudes sophistication and ease.
