Description
This version of the Vitra Eames RAR Rocking Chair is the upholstered version. It comes with various choices including the option to have the seat pad upholstered or the whole inner shell. With a choice of outer plastic shell colours there's a range of Hopsak fabrics to choose for the upholstered element, as well as a choice of wooden ski/ base options. If choosing the whole inner shell version, you have the option of white or black piping to tie the plastic and fabric element together. Giving the Eames RAR a softer appeal, the range of options ensure you can create the rocking chair of choice to suit your room.
For the all plastic version see Vitra Eames RAR 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.

Charles & Ray Eames
Charles and Ray Eames were the husband-and-wife design team who helped shape modern design as we know it. Famous for their playful yet functional approach, the Eameses worked across architecture, furniture, industrial design and even film and photography — always with the belief that good design should improve everyday life.
Their collaboration with Vitra began in 1957 and has since produced some of the most iconic pieces in modern interiors, from the Eames Lounge Chair to the Eames Plastic Chair collection. More than just beautiful objects, their designs embody a philosophy of practicality, comfort and timeless style. As Charles Eames once put it, “Recognising the need is the primary condition for the design.”
Today, Vitra continues to honour and produce the Eames’ creations, ensuring their legacy lives on in homes, offices and public spaces around the world.
