Product details

Seller's Notes:Very good vintage condition with normal age-appropriate wear. This chair features the original Herman Miller patent label from Zeeland, Michigan, which helps date the chair to approximately the late 1950s to mid-1960s. Collectors value this label because it confirms early Herman Miller production during the original fiberglass manufacturing era, when the shells were made with real fiberglass rather than the modern polypropylene versions produced today. Details • Model: RAR (Rocking Armchair Rod Base) • Color: Ochre yellow fiberglass • Original wood runners and metal rod base • Original Herman Miller patent label

Charles and Ray Eames adapted molding techniques developed during World War II to produce their classic shell chair’s simple, gracious form. In 2001, continuing the Eames’ design ethos of continual, iterative advancements, Herman Miller reintroduced the original Eames Molded Shell Chair (1950) in a durable, 100 percent recyclable polypropylene. In 2022, we’ve enhanced it once more by crafting select recycled chairs with 100 percent post-industrial recycled plastic. The subtle matte texture of the re-engineered plastic shell maintains the soft tactility of the original design, available in your choice of vintage and contemporary colors. This modern shell rocking chair is supported by a wire frame and hardwood rockers.
