Seller's description

As an entry for the "International Competition for Low-Cost Furniture Design" of the New York Museum of Modern Art in 1948, Charles and Ray Eames submitted a chair with a one-piece, ergonomically shaped metal seat shell, with a variable and interchangeable base. The concept was progressive in a time when chairs mainly consisted of a seat, backrest and fixed legs. Although the design was awarded second prize, the expensive material made it unsuitable for mass production. In their search for an alternative material that was malleable but still robust and suitable for industrial processing, the Eames came across polyester resin reinforced with fiberglass fibers, which was new to the furniture industry. The Fiberglass Chairs came onto the market as early as 1950 and quickly became very popular due to their variability and exceptional durability.
\n
\nThis is an original shell from the period and not the re-edition that Vitra has been bringing back onto the market since 2018. This black fiberglass armchair is equipped with a new rocking chair base from Vitra and thus forms the Rocking Armchair Rod Base (RAR). It is in good to very good condition with slight signs of wear.
