ROCKING ARMCHAIR in solid teak for indoor-outdoor Mid-20th Century

About the Item

The Rocking chair is based on a Mid-20th century design by John Stuart for Widdocomb as a replacement for those purchased by the customer’s grandparents in the 1950s. It is designed to work as an outdoor, or indoor chair, so the joinery and materials were strengthened appropriately. Other improvements over the original include widening the chair for a more spacious fit and upgrading the cloth web base with contoured and sturdy teak slats. The overall design departs from typically blocky outdoor furniture. The added benefit of working from an existing piece was being able to fine tune both the design and the ergonomics so the armrests, backrest and base support hours of comfortable sitting.
