Molded Plastic Rocker Added by Eames

Image: Design Within Reach

First introduced in 1948 by the Herman Miller Inc., this rocker is also known by its nickname RAR (rocking armchair rod). It was out of production for nearly thirty years until Herman Miller Inc., reintroduced it. It has a wire base that is set upon tow maple runners that provide a smooth rocking motion.
