Description
Loved by everybody the Eames Rocking Chair (or RAR - 'rocking armchair rod base' to give it its official title) is a further variation on the Plastic Armchairs exhibition at New York's MOMA entitled 'Low Cost Furniture Design'.This version of the Eames Rocker from Vitra is made made from polypropylene which gives greater sitting comfort than the original fibre glass. It has chrome plated legs and stained maple ski feet to give maximum rockability.
A great feature in any room this makes a great nursing chair (apparently). Get rocking!
For the upholstered version see Vitra Eames RAR Upholstered Rocking Chair.
What does RE mean on Vitra products?
Products marked RE use recycled materials. Vitra's commitment to more environmentally sustainable production has led them to engineer the Eames Plastic Shell chairs from recycled post-consumer plastic. The recycled material stems from German household waste collected via the "Yellow Bag" (Gelber Sack) system. Utilising this material instead of virgin plastic generates fewer climate-damaging emissions and consumes significantly less energy, all while maintaining Vitra's incredibly high standards.
