"Charles and Ray Eames' Shell Chairs are among the major creations in the history of furniture. After their initial presentation at the "Low Cost Furniture Design" competition organised by the Museum of Modern Art in 1948, the chairs were launched on the market in 1950 in an armchair version (shell A) and a simpler chair version (shell S) - they were thus 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 throughout the world: the multifunctional chair, whose shell can be combined 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 tall users. The fibreglass version of the organically shaped RAR shell emphasises the lively texture that characterises this material. The fascination of fibreglass lies in its irregular surface, whose clearly visible fibres give it an almost natural appearance. In order to make the most of these unique characteristics, the Fiberglass Chair RAR is not available with upholstery. The Fiberglass Chair RAR is a compact armchair in its own right whose iconic shape and steel wire frame on wooden glides adds a remarkable accent to any interior. It is also available as Plastic Chair RAR with a polypropylene shell that can be fitted with a fixed seat cushion or full upholstery. Available from March 2020.

Seat shell: dyed polyester, glass-fibre reinforced. Just like the first models, today's fibreglass shells are also available in the following versions
slightly transparent in some colors."
