Thonet Style Bentwood Rocking Chair

The simplicity of this chair is what captured our attention as an architect and furniture reseller. The spare lines, and clarity of the intent of the design make this rocking chair design special, setting it apart from the other, more common designs by Michael Thonet. Bentwood was one of the first modern furniture construction methods, using steam and molds to create these elegant designs that hit the scene in the mid 19th century. This elegant example is in our opinion, the perfect mix of original matte finish, whose variation and patina giving it warmth and approachability. It blends perfectly with a maximalist decor, or stands out as sculpture in a minimalist environment. It's the same rocking chair your mom rocked you on as a kid, if your mom had better taste than she did in reality. This item will be shipped disassembled.
