About the Item

Richard Meier Rocking Chaise manufactured by Knoll, 1982. Designed to lay either direction and wide enough for two people. The original black leather was in hardly used condition, but had uneven sun fading so we had the original leather finish professionally restored. The leather is in excellent condition. The original black lacquered frame shows very few signs of wear only under close inspection. This is a fine and rare example of this design.
