Designed by Charles and Ray Eames for Herman Miller®Sophisticated, refined, with a graceful silhouette. Soft Pad chairs are available in a selection of colors, materials, and bases that allow them to sit well in homes and offices.It’s uncanny how a chair designed in 1958 as outdoor seating still manages to look both classic and contemporary in twenty-first century interiors. The chairs’ clean, trim lines make them appropriate for all kinds of places, from classic and contemporary homes to elegant offices to hip start-ups.Never being ones to favor style over substance, Charles and Ray Eames gave both chair designs an innovative suspension that creates a firm, flexible "sitting pocket" that conforms subtly to the body's shape. They created that suspension by stretching a continuous piece of seat-back upholstery tautly between lightweight aluminum side ribs. The foam cushions of Soft Pad chairs will not flatten or clump over time.Designer and Original Production DateCharles and Ray Eames, 1969General DimensionsSwivel (3 back cushions):Width: 24.75"Depth: 29.25" Height: 35"Seat Height: 19.75"Tilt Swivel (4 back cushions):Width: 26"Depth: 31"Height: 38.75"Seat Height: 17" Designed as part of the iconic Aluminum Group, the Eames Soft Pad Lounge Chair has a high back, a relaxed pitch, and comes with its own pillowy headrest.

The hairs on the back of our necks are standing on end and our guts are telling us someone’s watching us, lurking in the shadows, just out of sight. Can you feel it too, Pandas? The eeriness?
