$108 – $173

A graphic celebration of one of the most joyful designs in furniture history – the Eames RAR (Rocking Armchair Rod Base). Created by Charles and Ray Eames in 1950, this moulded fibreglass rocker represents the playful genius of mid-century modern design at its finest. An essential piece for Eames collectors and design enthusiasts.

This red edition reflects the clean, optimistic spirit that made the Eames RAR one of the defining designs of the twentieth century. Its bright background draws attention to the chair’s instantly recognisable silhouette – the flowing shell, slender steel rod base and gently curved wooden runners that have become icons of modern furniture design.

There’s an understated confidence to this version. The crisp yellow backdrop allows every line and proportion to stand out, making it particularly well suited to bright, contemporary interiors where simplicity is part of the appeal.

The Eames RAR Chair

Some pieces of furniture are instantly recognisable from their silhouette alone. The Eames RAR is one of them.

Even if you’ve never heard its full name – RAR stands for Rod Base Armchair Rocker – you’ve almost certainly seen one. It appears in homes, nurseries, offices, cafés, design museums and countless magazine photographs. Few chairs have travelled so effortlessly between domestic life and popular culture.

The RAR emerged during a period when Charles and Ray Eames were rethinking what everyday furniture could be. Rather than producing handcrafted pieces for a small audience, they wanted to use modern manufacturing techniques to create well-designed furniture that ordinary people could own.

Originally introduced in the early 1950s, the RAR combined a moulded seat shell with a lightweight wire base mounted on wooden runners. The result looked unlike almost anything that had come before it. It felt playful without being frivolous and modern without appearing cold.

One reason the chair has remained so popular is its versatility. It doesn’t belong exclusively in one type of interior. It can sit comfortably in a minimalist apartment, a Victorian terrace, a creative studio or a family living room without feeling out of place.

The moulded shell was another quiet revolution. Rather than constructing furniture from multiple padded components, the Eameses explored how a single continuous form could provide both comfort and structural strength. The shell gently supports the body while keeping the overall design visually light.

Over the decades countless manufacturers have produced similar chairs, but the original remains distinctive because of its proportions and careful detailing. Like many classics, it’s often copied but rarely matched.

Cherner Chair 1

This limited-edition art print offers a refined graphic interpretation of Norman Cherner’s legendary 1958 moulded plywood armchair. The artwork captures the sculptural curves and timeless elegance that turned the Cherner Chair into a landmark of mid-century American furniture design.

This taupe edition takes a quieter approach. The cool background shifts the focus towards the chair’s sculptural form, highlighting the flowing curves and delicate proportions that have made it one of the defining designs of the twentieth century. There’s a calmness to this version that suits contemporary interiors particularly well. It sits naturally with pale timber, concrete, charcoal tones and minimalist spaces, where its restrained palette complements rather than dominates.

Eames RAR in warm grey

A refined colourway variation of our bestselling Eames RAR Rocker Art Print, rendered in a sophisticated warm grey palette. This limited edition Eames rocking chair print captures the iconic 1950 Charles and Ray Eames design with a softer, more subdued aesthetic ideal for contemporary neutral interiors.

This palette feels particularly at home in interiors built around natural timber, linen, stone and muted colours. It complements rather than competes, making it an easy choice for living spaces where calm, considered design takes precedence over bold statements. The subtle warmth of the background also echoes the maple or walnut runners that have always been such an important part of the chair’s character.

Cherner Chair 2

A fresh compositional take on Norman Cherner’s iconic 1958 moulded plywood armchair. This second Cherner Chair graphic print offers a new perspective on the celebrated mid-century design classic, making it the perfect companion piece or a striking standalone artwork for design-conscious interiors.

This yellow edition celebrates the Cherner Chair in a way that feels unmistakably mid-century. Inspired by the warm ochres and mustard tones that appeared throughout furniture, textiles and interiors of the 1950s and 60s, the background gives the chair an optimistic, graphic quality without overwhelming its elegant silhouette.

Against the rich yellow, the chair almost becomes an architectural drawing, allowing Norman Cherner’s beautifully tapered plywood form to stand out. It works especially well alongside walnut furniture, oak flooring and natural materials, adding warmth to a study, living room or creative workspace.
