Eames Fiberglass Armchair RAR rocking chair - chrome base

The Shell Chairs by Charles and Ray Eames, first presented in 1948 at MoMA's 'Low Cost Furniture Design' competition and launched in 1950, were the first mass-produced plastic chairs. They introduced a new, versatile furniture concept with interchangeable bases.

With the debut of this revolutionary design, Charles and Ray Eames introduced a new furniture typology that has since spread around the globe: the multifunctional chair whose shell can be joined with a variety of different bases. One model has always stood out in this large family of chairs: the Rocking Armchair Rod Base (RAR). The fibreglass version of the organically shaped RAR shell features the lively texture that is a hallmark of this material. The fascination of fibreglass lies in its irregular surface, whose clearly visible fibres make it appear almost like a natural material.

The Fiberglass Chair RAR is a fully fledged, compact armchair, which adds a striking accent to any living space with its iconic shape and steel wire base on wooden runners. For enhanced comfort, it is optionally available with an attached seat cushion. It is also available as the Plastic Chair RAR with a polypropylene shell, which can be fitted with an attached seat cushion or fully upholstered.
