Karen

The classic RAR Rocker designed by Charles and Ray Eames in 1950.  Now available for kids to enjoy

Plastic Armchairs were presented by Charles and Ray Eames as part part of the famed New York Museum of Modern Art competition, ‘Low Cost Furniture Design’.

Their organically shaped seat shells made of plastic were later combined with various different bases, such as RARs rockers, and manufactured in their millions.

In their latest version made of polypropylene the Armchairs now offer even greater sitting comfort and importantly can now be recycled.

So whether your little one’s want to rock for fun or curl up with a picture book.  The kids RAR rocker is perfect for all occasions.

A Legend Returns

Karen

This legendary furniture sculpture was designed in 1945 by the infamous Charles and Ray Eames, but was never produced for general distribution or sale.

As both Charles and Ray Eames were fascinated by elephants and the original Plywood Elephant was designed both as a toy for children, and a striking sculptural object that makes a statement in any environment with its vigorous curves and delightful character.

The success of the Plywood Elephant meant it soon sold out but for 2008.  This unique design has now been  re-produced in a polypropylene edition in 5 striking colours – a delight for both adults and children alike.

Eames Style Lounge Chair & Ottoman Set

Karen

The Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman, correctly titled Eames Lounge and Ottoman were released in 1956 after years of development by designers Charles and Ray Eames. They are now part of the permanent collection of New York’s Museum of Modern Art. The chair first appeared on the Arlene Francis ‘Home’ show broadcast on the NBC television network in the USA in 1956. Since then it has made many appearances on television and film and has found celebrity status amongst modern furniture design.

Few would argue that this chair could be the most easily recognisable and desirable furniture classic design of all time!! It appeals to people for several reasons. It is a classic design that has been in production ever since its creation. In addition to its style, it is also very comfortable a combination not always found in high design. Additionally, some people find it desirable purely for reasons of value with originals of the chair fetching well over £3500. Our quality reproduction of this classic is sympathetic to the detail and comfort of the original but at a fraction of the cost!

The chair is made from a series of moulded plywood veneer layers, thick soft cushioning covered in full Italian leather. The solid metal base is black with stainless tops and sides as per the original. The chair does not tilt as it is a one position relaxer chair.

This represents a fantastic opportunity of owning what could be described as furniture’s most endearing design ever.

Eames Style DAR Eiffel Arm Chair

Karen

Just like the DSR, these iconic chairs were so ahead of their time when designed in the 1950s. Available in 5 colours they transform even the most neutral of spaces and add a classic and understated vibrancy to any location. Perfect in addition with the DSR or on their own.

The design of this chair is so good you can simply add them to virtually any kind of dining table and the look is fantastic. Here we also give you the opportunity of buying together with an Eero Saarinen Tulip Table for the ultimate dining set.

The Chairs are constructed from rigid polypropylene seat tops that are built to withstand against everyday knocks and bumps. They are made to the closest possible match to the original design! The chrome tower ‘Eiffel’ base has 4 feet glides for ease of movement and protection of your floor. Fantastic dining or lounge chairs made to last.

Charles & Ray Eames were responsible for many of the modern classic designs we still see today and will continue to see well into the future! The Eames ‘Eiffel’ chair is no exception and gets its name from it’s chrome wire like base which is highly distinctive. This chair is just so versatile and this is one of the reasons for its notoriety! It is effective as a dining chair, as a lounge chair, as a side chair and looks good in literally any room of the house!

Peter Ghyczy Style Garden Egg Chair

Karen

After the Hungarian revolution of 1956, Peter Ghyczy left his native country and settled in West-Germany. He initially visited sculpture class at the art academy of Düsseldorf but soon decided to study architecture at the university in Aachen instead. With a degree in architecture, Peter Ghyczy became an employee of plastics producer Reuter in Lemförde.
In 1972, due to the conservative attitude of manufacturers,  decided to found his own company, ‘Ghyczy Selection’, which to this day continues to offer products of contemporary innovative design combined with state of the art production techniques.
The Garden Egg chair was designed by Peter Ghyczy in 1968. It was originally manufactured by Reuter Products. The chair was designed for both indoor/outdoor use and has become a real design icon of the mid 20th Century!

The back of this innovative indoor/outdoor chair can be folded down when not in use to form an egg shape sculpture that looks great whether it be within the home or the garden.

The chair is made from re-enforced fibreglass shell and a padded internal upholstery seat pad.

Charles Eames DSW Style Chair in White

Karen

Charles and Ray Eames adapted molding techniques developed during World War 2 to mass produce this classic design.

Today’s molded plastic chairs are true to the originals and are fully authentic, with updated materials to meet environmental requirements. Their enduring forms and quality construction make them comfortable, durable performers.

New materials, especially those that held promise for doing more with less, fascinated Charles and Ray Eames throughout their careers. Their fascination led to inventive modern furniture, such as the molded plastic chair. Designed in 1948, it was the first plastic chair to be mass produced. The Eames molded plastic armchair is also available with a wire base. A true landmark of modern design.

This beautiful Eames DSW Style Chair in White is perfect for any home or office. It also comes with a 2 year warranty.
