Vitra Eames RAR Rocking Chair with Plastic Seat Shell
The Plastic Armchairs were first presented in 1948 as part of the "Low Cost Furniture Design" competition by the Museum of Modern Art in New York. The organically shaped seat shell, originally made of fiberglass-reinforced plastic, was later combined with various bases, including the RAR's rocking runners, and produced millions of times. In their current version made from polypropylene, the Armchairs offer even greater seating comfort.
Starting in 2024, all seat shells of the Eames Plastic Chairs by Vitra will be made from recycled post-consumer plastic sourced from Germany's household waste collection system "Der Gelbe Sack." Exception: the color white 04 will remain available in the original material until the end of 2024.
The Eames Plastic Armchair RAR by Vitra is a timeless rocking chair that combines comfort with iconic design. Created by Charles and Ray Eames, it features an organic plastic seat shell paired with a delicate wire base. The curved wooden runners ensure gentle rocking motion, adding a playful lightness to the chair.
The RAR is perfect for living rooms, bedrooms, or reading nooks, bringing a touch of mid-century charm to any space. With its ergonomic design and high-quality craftsmanship, it is both a design classic and a comfortable seating option.
