A Pair of Rocking Chairs in Longhair Sheepskin, Europe 1960s
About the Item
Modern furniture is characterised by its clean lines, gentle curves, and organic shapes. These rocking chairs portray a beautiful mix of characteristics that were popular during the mid century modern movement. As this pair proves, functionality can manifest in many forms, but it is always accompanied by expert craftsmanship and a great aesthetic quality.
The construction of this stunning pair features high-quality materials and the technical mastery of the era’s European cabinetmakers. The masterful use of polished wood stands out against the textural longhair sheepskin. The sculpted and delicate, yet sturdy, bare armrests balance the fullness of the chairs’ body, while their shape accommodates the user. The polished wood allows light to bounce off of the armrests and legs, allowing the warm brown tones to create depth and a remarkable point of visual interest. The essence of these rocking chairs lies not just in their design, but also in the experience they offer. Rocking chairs, with their rhythmic motion, invite contemplation and relaxation. They transform a simple seat into a haven, a place to unwind and reflect. The designer clearly understood the timeless allure of a rocking chair, choosing to augment the utilitarian aspect of seating with the pursuit to achieve human comfort.
These rocking chairs boast a unique blend of organic charm and luxury, ideal for any interior seeking a blend of classic elegance and tactile indulgence.

Scandinavian Brutalist Oak rocking Chair, Scandinavia 1970s
Located in Utrecht, NL
While they play a prominent role in both architecture and pop culture, rocking chairs solidified their place in Scandinavian design history as well. As this model proves, functionality can manifest in many forms, but it is always accompanied by expert craftsmanship and a great aesthetic quality.
The Brutalist style of design - the term derives from the French word brut, meaning “raw” – is characterized by a deliberate plainness and crudity, and emerged in the mid-20th century and gained popularity in the late 1950s and 1960s. In furniture and décor, the Brutalist movement was somber, giving importance to eerie organic and rugged shapes in earthy tones. The defining characteristics of Brutalist furniture design...
