Cooler than the other side of the pillow. Beyond power couple. Getty Images have a great set of Charles and Ray shot in 1974 by Arnold Newman.

Major cosign on the workshirt and 'kerchief... Fantastic.

I have a DEEP obsession with the Eames. For my 40th or some big milestone, can I have a RAR rocker??? I think of it most of the time..not even joking

Good taste runs in the family, eh?

Reading this sat in my (white) Eames Lounger. It's not my favourite though. The RAR rocker is a close second to the LCW when it comes to 'things to save from a fire' (oh, almost forgot my li'l LTR side table!).

Perhaps with the exception of the Lounger, the Vitra licensed repros are nice but honestly no better than/almost indistinguishable from most of the unauthorised ones.

Best price for RAR's I've seen: http://www.vita-interiors.com/reproduction-classics/lounge-chairs/charles-eames-style-rar-fibreglass-rocking-chair-plastic.htm
