Finish & Build Quality
The shell is finished in smooth black moulded ABS for consistent colour and a low-maintenance surface. The frame is powder-coated black steel for corrosion resistance and structural strength. Solid maple rockers are sanded and sealed for a smooth, durable rocking motion. For care, wipe the ABS seat with a damp cloth and avoid harsh abrasives on the maple finish.
Designed for daily use
This Eames-style RAR arm chair blends sculptural form with day-to-day comfort. The moulded ABS seat offers a flexible, supportive surface that resists staining and is easy to clean. A stable black steel frame anchors the shell while solid maple rockers deliver a smooth, controlled rocking action. The combination of materials balances durability and tactile warmth — ideal for homes and contemporary offices seeking a timeless silhouette without premium pricing.

Designer / Context
Inspired by mid-century modern designs from the 1950s. This listing is a Modborn Eames-style product (not an original licensed Eames piece). For provenance or original designer information, consult the merchant or official archives.
How to Use
- Assembly: typically requires fitting the shell to the frame and attaching the rockers — follow merchant instructions.
- Placement: allow slight clearance for rocking motion; avoid placing on sloped or unstable flooring.
- Care: wipe shell, protect maple from excessive moisture, check fasteners periodically.
Budget vs Quality
- Budget: competitively priced at €131.46 for a styled, ready-to-use rocking arm chair.
- Quality: moulded ABS, powder-coated steel and solid maple offer a strong value proposition vs. premium originals. If provenance or designer authenticity is required, consider higher-priced licensed pieces.
What We Like
- Strong visual impact with minimal footprint.
- Comfortable sculpted seat with ergonomic contours.
- Solid maple rockers for smooth motion.
What To Consider
- Seat material is ABS plastic — comfortable and easy to clean but different feel from upholstered seats.
- If designer authenticity (original Eames) is essential, this is an inspired replica; check merchant details.
