About the Item
Held designed his rocking chair with the intention of relieving muscular strain; he assumed that movement is less tiring than standing still. The chair rests on a convex base in order to both rock and swivel. ( Image 8 Florence Knoll and Yves Vidal in the show-room of Bd. Saint Germain)
