Vitra
Eames Armchair RAR
Fiberglass Shell
Price € 1.105,00
One of the first works by Charles & Ray Eames to be mass produced in collaboration with Zenith Plastics. Born from the idea of the multifunctional chair, the Eames Plastic Armchair takes experimentation to the limit, grafting the four legs full of modernist suggestions to a pair of warm rocking pads in solid maple. For the time, a real challenge to the current paradigm. Initially produced in Fiberglass, it was later re-proposed with a polypropylene shell, lighter and more flexible. The characteristic and essential shape of this seat easily places it in any room of the house, according to personal taste.
W.63 x D.60 x H.76 cm
Seat Height 37 cm

Swiss by birth, Vitra is a unique company in many ways. Unique in its home collections, light and colorful; unique in its office furnishings, which combine in a masterful implementation design and ergonomics; unique for the designer parterre that enriches its catalog. Among prestigious historical re-enactments and fruitful collaborations, Vitra has always had the ability to relive the past and project to the future. However, Vitra is unique above all for Rolf Fehlbaum's corporate address, where the company transcends the business to fulfill wider social and cultural functions: the creation of a unique project such as Vitra Campus and the annexed Vitra Design Museum is an example.Read more
Designed by
Charles & Ray Eames
Charles (1907-1978) and Ray (1912-1988) Eames were the most important American designers of the 20th century. Couple in work and in life, they met at the Cranbrook Academy of Art directed by Eliel Saarinen. And it was with Eero Saarinen, son of Eliel and his close friend, that the young Charles took his first steps in the world of design, while Ray - trained as a painter - took care of the graphic presentation of their installations. Multifaceted talents, they also dealt with architecture (the Eames House in Los Angeles, which they designed and where they lived all their lives, is now considered the emblem of the "American home"), photography and cinema. However, it is their furnishings, with their perfect and vaguely organic shapes, that ensure them a place in history. Their creations, pioneering in the use of materials such as fiberglass or curved plywood, were already the protagonists of an exhibition at MoMA in 1946, following which they began to be produced by Herman Miller in the United States. In Europe, the Eames' creations were brought by ICF De Padova, which ceased production in the 1970s, and by Vitra, for which they still remain great bestsellers.Read more
