Eames Plastic Armchair RAR

Vitra Eames RAR Rocking Chair with Plastic Seat Shell

The Plastic Armchairs were first presented in 1948 as part of the Museum of Modern Art in New York’s “ &, ‘Low Cost Furniture Design & ’” competition. The organically shaped seat shell, made of glass-fiber-reinforced plastic, was later combined with various bases—such as the RAR’s rocking glides—and produced in the millions. In their current version made of polypropylene, the armchairs offer even greater seating comfort. Starting in 2024, all seat shells for the Eames Plastic Chairs from Vitra will be manufactured from recycled post-consumer plastic sourced from the German household waste collection program “Der Gelbe Sack.” Exception: the color white 04 will be available in the previous material until the end of 2024. The Eames Plastic Armchair RAR from Vitra is a timeless rocking chair that combines comfort with iconic design. Designed by Charles and Ray Eames, it is characterized by its organic seat shell made of sturdy plastic and its delicate wire frame. The curved wooden glides ensure a gentle rocking motion and lend the chair a playful lightness. The RAR is ideal for living rooms, bedrooms, or reading nooks and brings a touch of mid-century charm to any room. With its ergonomic shape and high-quality craftsmanship, it is not only a design classic but also a comfortable place to sit.
