Vintage Herman Miller Eames Rocking Chair (RAR)
By Charles and Ray Eames
Located in New York, NY
Excellent examples of vintage Eames rocker with oranger fiberglass. Remnants of sticker remain on the underside.
More history below:
The famous Eames Rocking (R) Arm (A) Chair on Rod (R) Base, abbreviated to RAR, was one of the ‘original 5’ released in 1950 and remains a firm favorite with collectors and home owners all these years later.
When the original Eames Office and Zenith Plastics colluded to produce the Eames RAR Rocking Chair in 1950 few could have predicted its enduring popularity and rise to ‘design classic’ over the coming years. This happened despite the fact the rocking base was sadly discontinued in 1968 by Herman Miller.
