1970's Eames soft pad chair

 
Just sitting here in my Vintage Design Shop in Kilkenny enjoying the sunshine.. This is a Vintage 1970s Eames EA214 soft pad lounge chair on a rare 4 star base, lovely leather and in great condition, its four point Eames universal base characteristic of the first phase of production of these chairs, and white nylon glides, which are also true to that time period. I recently sold this stunning Eames chair and I am very happy with the sale. Just to let you know, I will be bringing a Danish Bucket chair with me to the Brocante Market on the 17th of April. Lots of love to my Vintage Design tribe!!
