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.

    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. He played a crucial role in shaping the modern design landscape in Finland and gained international recognition for his work. Early in his career, Tapiovaara worked alongside the celebrated Finnish architect and designer Alvar Aalto. This collaboration greatly influenced his design sensibilities and helped him establish a strong foundation in modernist design principles.
