Have not blogged anything for quite a while. However, I did want to share my beautiful birthday present!! This is a rescued Charles and Ray Eames RAR rocking chair originally designed for Herman Miller. I say rescued because the original shell was found at a retro shop and was covered with fabric of some sort. I'm in love with the organic shape and clean, simple form. I also enjoy the contrast of materials used. Plus, it rocks!! The shell is a great neutral color and it is the original 1950's fiberglass mold, which I much prefer to the newer, plastic shells that you can get currently. Anyway, this ranks as one of the best birthday gifts ever because of the combination of beautiful design, function, and timelessness. Thank you Johnny!
