RAR rocking armchair, 1950
Designed by charles and ray eames
 

Plastic Armchairs were first presented as part of the famed New York Museum of Modern Art competition, “Low Cost Furniture Design”. Their organically shaped seat shells made of fibreglass-reinforced plastic were later combined with various different bases, such as RAR’s rockers and manufactured in their millions. In their latest version made of polypropylene the Armchairs now offer even greater sitting comfort.

The RAR (rocking armchair rod) has a moulded fibreglass-reinforced polyester seat and an eiffel tower base with birch wood rockers on the bottom. it is said that the RAR rockers were originally gifts to herman miller employees who just had newborns !

Materials: seat shell in polypropylene, dyed through, four-legged braced wire base on two wooden rockers with clear varnish.


Our bucket chair is never mass produce paying great attention to the smallest detail. Available at only $299, various colours to choose from.
