The concept is based on the story of RAR (rocking armchair rod base).
This rocking armchair, created from Ray and Charles Eames in the 50`s turned through time into an icon. Architects, Interior Designers as well as Product Designers use it as a timeless reference in renderings, photographs as well as in real settings. It is one of the most photographed chairs of our present.
The chair in this certain perspective is built upon the first picture popping up when i googled RAR Eames. I printed that picture in real size and from this point i recreated the chair as an icon using it`s original materials.
