The RAR Rocking Chair designed by Charles Eames and Ray Eames is probably one of those projects that many people immediately recognize even without knowing its name. The reason is simple: few sessions have managed to combine comfort, formal simplicity, and such a recognizable presence so well.
The structure combines a polypropylene seat, a steel base, and wooden skates, creating the balance between industrial materials and warmer surfaces that made the Eames designs so iconic. In this version, the blue seat adds a fresher and more playful component, while maintaining all the essential elegance of the original project.
Even though it is referred to as a rocking chair, the RAR takes up space very differently than more traditional models. Its compact proportions, open structure and visual lightness allow it to fit easily into a living room, a room or a studio, adding character without weighing down the environment.
More than seventy years after its design, it continues to function for the same reason it did then: it is simple, convenient, and extremely well designed.
