About the Item
Introducing a truly one-of-a-kind rocking chair featuring a mix of original and new Italian leather upholstery. Hand-forged and welded, this artfully-crafted rocker, designed after the iconic Thonet Model B-808 bentwood rocking chair, was likely custom-made in the late 1960s or early 1970s. The amalgamation of several design elements such as the Italian Modern leather-webbed back rest, it's Brutalist exposed metal tubular frame and Minimalist Mid-Century Modern seat all work together to form a truly extraordinary piece that is as functional as it is aesthetically captivating.
Featuring a newly upholstered seat in a rich mocha-colored genuine Italian leather hide as well as hand-sewn set of hand-rests, custom installed into the metal armrests for a pop of color and added comfort this unique piece is ideal for collectors and designers alike searching for a rocking chair truly unlike any other. Able to blend seamlessly against a multitude of design backdrops from Mid-Century Modern to Industrial to Italian Modern and everything in between this rocker is sure to make a BOLD impression in any space it inhabits. Make it yours today before it's truly gone forever.

This extraordinary rocking chair has recently undergone a partial restoration featuring a new, custom-made seat with new Italian leather upholstery. The hand-welded and bent frame is in original condition and shows a wide array of patina with areas of spot rust, chips in paint and scratches that add to the chair's commanding character.
We love the patina and left the frame in its original, character-rich condition. If you prefer to have it restored we offer a full service restoration shop. Message us prior to checkout to discuss options and pricing.
The worn leather webbed backrest is in original condition and shows patina and use but showing no broken straps. The seat, custom-made and freshly upholstered in a genuine Italian leather hide in a warm mocha color, includes new medium density foam for maximum comfort and longevity. The hand rests were also hand-stitched by our upholsterer adding comfort and warmth.
The rocker is perfectly balanced and currently retains softeners on the legs to prevent scratching floors but is removable if desired. The chair is perfectly balanced and rocks both easily and comfortably.
Please view all photos and natural light video provided for details on this incredibly rocker's current condition. We're limited on the amount of media we can post so additional photos and videos are available upon request.
