About the Item
This exquisitely crafted studio rocking chair by Colorado artisan Jeffry Mann is a masterful homage to the legendary Sam Maloof, echoing his sculptural elegance while asserting its own distinct voice in American studio craft. Hand-carved from rich California black walnut, the chair features flowing contours, seamless joinery, and a tactile warmth that invites both admiration and use. Mann’s craftsmanship honors Maloof’s legacy of ergonomic grace and organic form, yet introduces a rugged refinement rooted in the Colorado landscape—where precision meets soul.
Each curve and spindle is shaped with reverence for the material, showcasing Mann’s deep understanding of wood’s expressive potential. Signed and dated, this 1985 piece embodies the spirit of mid-century modern design with a contemporary edge, making it not only a functional seat but a sculptural statement. A rare and collectible work from a craftsman whose pieces are increasingly recognized for their quiet brilliance and timeless appeal.
Signed to the underside of the seat.
