Helge Vestergaard Jensen Rosewood Rocking Chair designed 1959
About the Item
Designed in 1959 by Helge Vestergaard-Jensen, this rosewood edition was made by the Niels Roth Andersen, Alderman of the Copenhagen Guild of Furniture Makers from the mid-90s until his retirement in 2016.
Made of the most amazingly figured rosewood with black veining contrasting against yellow streaks. Amazing stuff.
Designed in 1961, Helge Vestergaard Jensen’s rocking chair is chiseled and skeletal. The armrests take the form of a forearm and wrist. Missing is a hand, inviting you to complete the picture. The fluted-leather skin draws the eye vertically and narrows your perspective, so maintaining a taut, sharp and modern look.
Made by Niels Roth Andersen, Alderman of the Cabinetmakers Guild of Copenhagen in 2015 using rosewood from a sustainable plantation in Costa Rica (dalbergia retusa). The rosewood rocking frame weighs just under 10kg (when disassembled from the leather bucket seat) , meaning that a rosewood permit is not required for international shipping.
Dimensions
Height: 103 cm
Width: 63 cm
Depth: 82 cm
Seat Height: 39 cm
I have included two pictures showing an impression on the back of the backrest. There is not much to do about it other wait for the natural leather to pull together and develop some patina that will obscure it appearance.
This chair is currently in Denmark.
