Sculptural Rocking Chair by Poul Volther for Frem Rojle, Denmark, c. 1960s
About the Item
Introducing a rare Danish-made rocking chair designed by the influential Poul Volther for Frem Rojle. Built from a sleek frame of solid mahogany replete with rich woodgrains and re-upholstered in a fabulous, kind-to-the-touch cotton fabric with a juxtaposed mix of bohemian and southwest patterned print this expertly crafted rocker is the very epitome of "one-of-a-kind". Perfectly balanced, incredibly comfortable and aesthetically captivating this rocker is ideal for collectors and designers alike searching for Danish Modern rocker that is ready for a lifetime more of use.
Poul M. Volther was a Danish furniture designer who is remembered above all for his iconic Corona Chair. He trained as a cabinet maker before going on to study design at the Copenhagen Arts & Crafts School. This was a great grounding for a young Volther in both the practical side and the design side which many designers lack. Volther joined FDB Mobler as a designer under Borge Mogensen in 1949 and took over from him as head designer in 1959.
Apart from his work for FDB Volther would go on to teach at Denmark's Design School, where he encouraged hundreds of students to aim for high quality craftsmanship. A believer in Functionalism, he avoided short-lived aesthetic trends, concentrating on the simple crafting of quality materials. He would go on to design for master cabinet maker K Thomsen and also for Frem Røjle, a large successful company which also employed the likes of Hans Olsen.
Built for comfort this ultra-stylish rocker is sure to make a BOLD impression in any space it inhabits and is able to blend against a multitude of design backdrops from Mid-Century Modern to Southwest to Contemporary and everything in between. With nothing else out there like it, when it's gone - it's gone forever. Make it yours today.

This sleek rocking chair has recently undergone a partial restoration featuring new cotton upholstery with a Bohemian southwest-styled print. The solid mahogany frame and legs are in original, vintage condition and show only minimal signs of wear such as nicks and surface scratches as well as minor gouges on the two top posts (all of which can be seen in the detail photos provided). With that said the mahogany is in overall very good shape.
As purists, we strive to leave all of our pieces in as original condition as possible. However we do offer restoration services and a full carpentry shop which can professionally sand and refinish the mahogany. If this option interests you please message us prior to checkout to discuss options and pricing.
The upholstery, redone in a fabulous kind-to-the-touch cotton fabric with Bohemian southwest patterns is in new, never-sat-in condition. The foam has been replaced with medium density foam for maximum comfort and longevity and all support straps have been replaced.
This rockers is incredibly comfortable, perfectly balanced and ready for a literal lifetime more of use. Please view all photos and video provided for details on this rocking chair's current condition. We're limited on the amount of media we can post so additional photos and videos are available upon request.
