About the Item

While they play a prominent role in both architecture and pop culture, rocking chairs solidified their place in Scandinavian design history as well. As this model proves, functionality can manifest in many forms, but it is always accompanied by expert craftsmanship and a great aesthetic quality. The Brutalist style of design - the term derives from the French word brut, meaning “raw” – is characterized by a deliberate plainness and crudity, and emerged in the mid-20th century and gained popularity in the late 1950s and 1960s. In furniture and décor, the Brutalist movement was somber, giving importance to eerie organic and rugged shapes in earthy tones. The defining characteristics of Brutalist furniture design can be observed in this rocking chair: organic design, an earthy palette, and the lack of ornamentation. At the same time, the gentle touch of Scandinavian design is also present; the edges are smoothed out, the lines elongated for purely aesthetic purposes. The elongated rockers are especially eye-catching, and enable the true “rocking chair experience” thanks to their angle and length. The small round “ears” on top are a playful addition that elongate the design visually, enhancing the sleek look. This model is special, as it mixes the Shaker-like clarity of Brutalism with the cosy touches of Scandinavian furniture design, bringing together the best of both styles. In the 21st century, unlike in architecture, brutalist furniture design has been making a comeback, making 20th century pieces like this rocking chair a rare and valuable piece of the movement.

AB Åby Möbelfabrik Pine Rocking Chair, Sweden 1940s

Located in Utrecht, NL

While they play a prominent role in both architecture and pop culture, rocking chairs solidified their place in Scandinavian design history as well. As this Swedish model proves, functionality can manifest in many forms, but it is always accompanied by both great material and aesthetic quality in Swedish design. Taking influence from the golden age of modernism in Sweden and the 1930s’ cabin furniture, this rocking chair was made in the famous “sportstugemöbel” style, originally intended for Swedish summer houses. Solid pine was the preferred material in this specific style and some of the most prominent Swedish designers created models for these summer residencies, including Axel Einar Hjorth and Carl Malmsten. Functionality and longevity were the guiding principles for the style, and accordingly, for this rocking chair as well. The pine structure is very polished and firm, assembled with an expert joinery technique. The seat is ergonomically carved, and the edges are gently rounded for maximum comfort. Åby furniture...
