About the Item
Vintage Rocking Chair by ÚLUV (Central Office of Folk Art Production), Czechoslovakia, 1960s–1970s
A rare and authentic rocking chair produced by ÚLUV (Ústředí lidové umělecké výroby – Central Office of Folk Art Production) in Czechoslovakia, dating to the 1960s–1970s. This piece exemplifies the timeless quality and craftsmanship typical of mid-century Central European design.
The chair features a solid wooden frame with clean, sculptural lines that provide both aesthetic appeal and lasting stability. Green-patterned upholstery remains in very good condition—fully intact and functional—highlighting the thoughtful preservation of the piece.
With its ergonomic seat (53 × 48 cm) and tall, supportive backrest, this rocking chair offers both comfort and character. Whether placed in a retro-inspired setting or used as a standout accent in a modern interior, it adds charm, history, and a distinctive design sensibility.

Jiri Jiroutek
Few designers anywhere have created pieces that more distinctly shout mid-century modern than Jiri Jiroutek. Even as a young designer, Jiroutek reenvisioned the fabrication and functionality not only of cabinets and kitchen furnishings but also interior architecture.
However, it was the 1958 Brussels World’s Fair that ultimately inspired the Czech designer's funky, colorful, decorative yet multifunctional U-450 cabinets of the late ’50s and early ’60s that made Jiroutek a leading figure in the so-called Czech Brussels school.
Jiroutek's influence didn’t stop there. After revising an Ikea prototype design at the firm’s request in 1958, Jiroutek received an invitation from Ikea founder Ingvar Kamprad to join the company in Stockholm. The designs he created there in the late 1960s, as well as others inspired by his work at the renowned manufacturer Interiér Praha, remain Ikea best sellers to this day.
