The story behind the Charles Eames RAR Rocking Chair for Kids

Created in 1948, the Charles Eames RAR Rocker forms part of a series of moulded plastic chairs designed by husband and wife team, Charles and Ray Eames. Each one has the same ergonomically designed seat combined with different bases and arm styles. They are identified by their initials – for example, RAR stands for Rocking chair, Armchair with a Rod base. This series of chairs has the iconic status of being the first industrially manufactured plastic chairs. The Charles Eames RAR Rocking Chair was originally intended as a stylish and comfortable nursing chair. Its deep seat, high back and curved arms were designed to support the body while the rocking soothes baby to sleep. But the chair was far too popular to simply stay in the nursery and quickly became a mainstream favourite, but the TITAHOT kids-sized version ensures that everyone in the nursery can have their own!
