About the Item

Modern furniture is characterised by its clean lines, gentle curves, and organic shapes. These rocking chairs portray a beautiful mix of characteristics that were popular during the mid century modern movement. As this pair proves, functionality can manifest in many forms, but it is always accompanied by expert craftsmanship and a great aesthetic quality. The construction of this stunning pair features high-quality materials and the technical mastery of the era’s European cabinetmakers. The masterful use of polished wood stands out against the textural longhair sheepskin. The sculpted and delicate, yet sturdy, bare armrests balance the fullness of the chairs’ body, while their shape accommodates the user. The polished wood allows light to bounce off of the armrests and legs, allowing the warm brown tones to create depth and a remarkable point of visual interest. The essence of these rocking chairs lies not just in their design, but also in the experience they offer. Rocking chairs, with their rhythmic motion, invite contemplation and relaxation. They transform a simple seat into a haven, a place to unwind and reflect. The designer clearly understood the timeless allure of a rocking chair, choosing to augment the utilitarian aspect of seating with the pursuit to achieve human comfort. These rocking chairs boast a unique blend of organic charm and luxury, ideal for any interior seeking a blend of classic elegance and tactile indulgence. Condition: In good vintage condition. Wear consistent with age and use. The chairs have been recently reupholstered in premium longhair sheepskin. Each of our items can be reupholstered by our in-house atelier in a fabric of choice.
