Charles Eames RAR Rocker for Kids

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.

Great ideas created by Goodbyn

Karen

Goodbyn are a small company in Naperville, Illinois who had a little idea to reinvent the way kids eat lunch—making lunchtime easier, more inspiring and fun for both kids and parents. From the beginning, they decided to be as transparent as possible about our decisions as a company: how they produce, ship and get product to market. Below, you’ll find information about our materials, suppliers, vendors and craftsmen whose unrelenting energy has made Goodbyn possible.

As they concepted Goodbyn and researched kids’ eating habits, we wanted a team of people who meshed with their beliefs, but had the unique background of research-driven, modern product design. They thought they’d be searching for a while, but (almost immediately) we were able to form a team with the expertise and design aesthetic that enables Goodbyn to look as cool as it does while making lunchtime for kids smarter than ever.

Goodbyn’s products are manufactured, assembled and fulfilled in the Midwest United States.

Now available to buy in the United Kingdom directly from Dennis and McGregor.
