Description
Relax in style with the unique RAR Plastic Armchair by Charles and Ray Eames, a classic design featuring the iconic black wire base, golden maple wood runners and a refreshed colour palette since 2019, paying homage to the model's original colour history while acknowledging future aspirations. Designed in 1950, this RAR chair is a variation of the signature Eames DSR chair, with the addition of maple runners to replicate the traditional delights of a rocker. The traditional rocking chair is an enduring symbol of relaxation, reinterpreted and manufactured by Vitra to reflect the famous Eames style. Originally crafted in the materials of mid-century modernism, the current edition is crafted from a dyed-through polypropylene shell and the iconic Eifel base in black wire, on golden maple runners. Printed with the signatures of the designers as a sign of authenticity, Vitra continues to manufacture the Eames RAR Chair to the highest quality, maintaining the superior comfort and prestigious design that Charles and Ray Eames originally created.

Our Stylist Says
I love this chair for its modern, streamlined look that blends retro charm with contemporary style. The Sea Blue hue works particularly well in both colourful and neutral interiors, adding a pop of colour without overpowering the space. Its plastic shell makes it durable and easy to clean - ideal for everyday use - while the Eames-inspired legs bring a touch of Scandinavian minimalism. This chair is versatile enough for a variety of dining environments, from casual family kitchens to more stylish, eclectic dining rooms. For practical styling, pair it with a neutral or wooden table to let the colour stand out, and consider adding textured or patterned cushions to create a cosy, inviting vibe.
