Eames Fiberglass Armchair RAR Rocking Chair Black Base

The Eames Fiberglass Armchair RAR Rocking Chair Black was designed by Charles and Ray Eames for the brand Vitra.

Launched in the 1950s, the Swiss label Vitra owed much of its early success to its collaboration with Charles and Ray Eames. Today, it reworks classic designs as well as promoting the work of contemporary designers. Charles and Ray Eames were an iconic partnership of the mid-20th century, bringing their love of architectural lines to furniture design. Their work is showcased around the globe in museums such as London's Victoria and Albert and New York's MoMA.

The Eames Fiberglass Armchair RAR Rocking Chair Black has become an iconic piece of furniture history. With this edition, a classic piece of furniture is given a contemporary reworking. It is compact enough to fit in any setting while offering comfort even for taller users. Using fibreglass allows the shell to be moulded in one piece while the irregular texture gives the effect of a natural material. The shell sits on a black steel wire geometric base supported by wooden runners. The overall dimensions of the Eames Fiberglass Armchair RAR Rocking Chair Black are 80 x 76 x 60 cm.
