After their initial presentation at the "low cost furniture design" competition organized by the museum of modern art in 1948, the chairs were launched on the market in 1950 in armchair version (hull a) and in the simpler chair version (s-shell) - they were the first plastic chairs to be mass-produced. With the launch of this revolutionary creation, charles and ray eames introduced a new type of furniture that has since spread around the world: the multifunctional chair whose hull can be associated with a variety of different legs. One model has always stood out from the vast family of chairs: the rocking armchair rod base (rar). Despite its compact dimensions, the rocking chair offers pleasant comfort even for large users. The fiberglass version of the organic-shaped rar shell emphasizes the lively texture that characterizes this material. The fascination of fiberglass lies in its irregular surface, whose clearly visible fibers give it an almost natural appearance.
