Automatic translation from Danish.

Charles Eames (1907-1978). Soft Pad high-back office chair, model EA-219, Full leather, with chrome-plated aluminum armrests, seat and back with cognac-colored aniline leather upholstery, height-adjustable, tilting function, swiveling stem with five-step foot in chrome-plated aluminum with wheels. Newest generation with chrome ring. Designed 1958. Manufactured by Vitra, 2015. Seat H. 48/61 cm. Appears to be newly upholstered with cognac-coloured aniline leather, this not done by Vitra, but by a professional Danish furniture upholsterer. Aniline leather is made on raw hides. The leather basically has a completely natural bare surface, where all natural marks are visible. This helps to emphasize the leather's unique character. The leather is full grain, which means that the natural surface structure is preserved. Aniline leather changes over time through use and exposure to light and quickly acquires a natural patina. Frame appears with minimal traces of use.
