Hans Olsen's timeless rocking chair with its beautiful woven back, designed in the 50s, is a perfect example of the genre. The renowned Danish architect created a simple, yet sophisticated design, which will look great in any home, where a love of design and natural materials play a major role in the décor.
The back is hand-woven in cane – strong shavings from the inner pith of the rattan palm – in a simple, airy pattern which, together with the simple wooden frame, lends the rocking chair a light appearance. Beautiful from all angles, the Swing Rocking Chair combines aesthetics and comfort with elegant details such as a headrest and a seat cushion, making the rocking chair comfortable to sit in, even for long periods of time.
