RAR gyngestol

The Eames RAR belongs to the shell chair family by Charles and Ray Eames. It gives the classic molded seat a specific base and use case for modern interiors.

The RAR adds a rocking base to the Eames shell, so it feels more relaxed than Eames DAR or Eames DSR .

About the Eames RAR

The shell chair family began with experiments for affordable, comfortable and industrially produced chairs. Early prototypes were developed for the MoMA "Low-Cost Furniture Design" competition of 1948, and the molded fiberglass chair was introduced commercially in 1950.

The RAR is useful when you want recognisable Eames design with a clear functional character, without creating a broad generic category.

How to choose the Eames RAR

Check the available room, table height and how the chair will be used. Some Eames bases feel warmer, others more graphic or more relaxed.
