Vitra Eames RAR Rocking Chair , White
The iconic Eames RAR armchair is now made from a moulded,
recyclable polypropylene shell that's designed for every body shape. The
shell is placed on a four-legged braced wire base with two wooden
rockers, finished with clear varnish. The result is timeless style with a
relaxing, smooth movement.
Every colour in our
selection complements each other, so you can mix and match to suit your
decor. The polypropylene shell is dyed through, so the colour will never
fade.
Highly influential and endlessly imitated,
husband and wife team Charles and Ray Eames revolutionised 20th Century
furniture design. They combined their respective disciplines in
architecture and modern art with low-cost yet durable materials to
create perfectly balanced, functional furniture.
The
Eames’ works have proved to be real ‘designs for life’: they’re iconic
art pieces and objects of desire, yet utterly practical.
Originally
made in fibreglass for the 1950 MOMA Low Cost Furniture design
competition, the DSR was the first industrially-produced plastic chair.
