Eames RAR Rocking Armchair - Multicolour, Fibreglass

The Eames Rocking Armchair Rod Base (RAR) combines a fibreglass-reinforced plastic seat with wooden runners, offering a distinctive take on the iconic Plastic Chairs family. Originally designed in 1950 and exhibited at New York's Museum of Modern Art 'Low Cost Furniture Design' competition, the chair carries a well-documented design heritage. The curved seat shell distributes weight evenly, while the wooden rocker base provides a gentle, continuous motion. Its construction balances structural rigidity with a degree of flex for sustained comfort.

In amongst Charles and Ray Eames' iconic 'Plastic Chairs' family, the 'Rocking Armchair Rod Base' (RAR) stands out the most. A fibreglass-reinforced plastic seat is mounted on wooden runners for an even more comfortable version of the iconic chair. Designed in 1950 and presented at New York's Museum of Modern Art competition, 'Low Cost Furniture Design', the chair adds a self-assured accent to any environment.
