Swedish Rocking Chair in Pink Velvet

About the Item

This art deco danish modern rocking chair was produced in the 1940s. It is made of bentwood and features wooden components and spring seats. Completely restored and reupholstered in cotton velvet. Very comfortable with an appropriate level of give, this armchair looks its best when one is able to view the profile, which really speaks to its 1940s date of design. The two almost circles on either side of the chair which link to plush seat to the rocker legs are beautifully striking design points. Finished in a fine pink velvet, the upholstery catches the light beautifully and appears almost luminous as the curves of the base fill pull the exposed threads in different directions. There is slight water damage to the velvet seat.

By Ilmari Tapiovaara
Located in London, England
Ilmari Tapiovaara (1914-1999) was a renowned Finnish designer and architect known for his significant contributions to the fields of furniture and industrial design.

Begga D’Haese, "Untitled" Pink Collage (c.2005)
Located in London, England
A beautiful, geometric yet delicate collage, primarily of aged parchment and pink dye, on wood. This piece is one of few examples of D'Haese's (1934-2023), in collage. Known primarily for her tongue in cheek large-scale marble sculptures. This piece is more contemplative. Playing with ideas of the 70s, and onwards, influenced by Agnes Martin and the like, this piece is directly playing with the feminine. Delicate semi-circles lift from the ground divided into four quadrants, sometimes plain, sometimes heavily textured. The composition is complex yet undeniably playful. Different relationships are developed between each of the semi-circles, as well as amongst the complete whole, resulting in the harmonious total. Extremely compelling, and neutral for almost any space. The piece is in an acrylic box...
