Learn more about this product

The Rocking Chair also called Armchair RAR (for Rocking Armchair Rod base) was created by the Eames in 1948 using polyester resin reinforced with fiberglass to create a one-piece shell.
This rocking chair was presented for the first time in 1950 during the “Low Cost Furniture Design” competition at MoMA in New York. It met with great success and was originally published by the Herman Miller company until the end of the 1970s.
Alongside Herman Miller production based in the United States, Vitra has been producing polypropylene models in Europe since 1972.
The armchair is also available in a version with legs. There are two different bases: the DAR model (chromed aluminum base) and the DAW model (wooden legs).

Learn more about this designer

Charles and Ray Eames are a couple of emblematic designers of the 20th century. Very ahead of their time, they contributed to the democratization of designer furniture for the general public, in particular thanks to the invention of new industrial manufacturing techniques allowing mass production.
We owe them many emblematic design pieces from the 1950s and 60s combining comfort and ergonomics: the famous Lounge Chair, the DCW chair (Dining Chair Wood) or the armchair RAR (Rocking Armchair Rodbase).
