Eames Rocker Chair Style - DC19

The abbreviation "RAR" represents the manufacturing features that make up this Eames masterpiece. These features are the "Rocker height", the fact that it is an "Armchair" and that it features a "Rocking base". The RAR is a marvel. Not only is it surprising comfortable, which anyone who has had the pleasure to sit can attest to, it is a brazen design. The first time I saw the RAR, I had the unmistakable impression of being attracted to its awkward design. The RAR resets the design pallet. Just when you think your in danger of being lulled to sleep, this piece appears seemingly out of nowhere. Mix the deep seat and high backrest of the Fiberglass shell with a wire "Eiffel frame" and wooden rocker arms. What comes to mind? Images of a fiberglass occasional chair that collided with a child's rocking horse are conjured up. Coincidence aside, the Eames RAR Rocker does have a historical connection to children. It is rumored that the original manufacturer, Herman Miller, used to gift a RAR to employees on the birth of a child as a nursery piece. Herman Miller dropped production of this amazing chair in 1968. Today, they only reproduce a plastic injection mold version of the original fiberglass piece. The RAR enjoys a diverse history of service. From professionally designed mid-century modern settings, casual nurseries, outdoor and commercial use. For many, this classical chair is easily the most impressive seat in or out of the house.
