Description
This rocking chair is made from rattan, with an open back of slim vertical canes that rise to a curved top rail with a soft dip at its centre. The arms sweep round in deep loops, and the joints are held with wrapped bindings, so you can see how the chair is put together from any side. The rattan seat and back sit on an iron frame with cross bars and a pair of curved rockers. It measures 78cm long, 53cm wide and 86cm tall, and the brown rattan brings warmth to a room without any heavy upholstery.
At 53cm wide it fits the narrower spots in a home: beside the foot of a staircase in a hallway, by a bedroom window, or in the corner of a living room where a full armchair would crowd the floor. The open canework lets light and the wall behind show through, so the chair looks less bulky than its size suggests in a small room. At 6KG it is easy to lift and carry to wherever you want to sit, and it takes a maximum load of 125KG, which makes it a chair for everyday sitting and rocking, not only for show. It suits a reading spot, a quiet bedroom, or a hallway that needs somewhere to sit and pull on boots.
The frame is iron, powder coated, and the rattan carries a water-based lacquer. Rattan is a light, flexible cane, which is why it can be bent into the curves of the back and arms and bound at the joints. The maker's assembly instructions come as a PDF download. For a practical finishing touch, fold a throw over one arm and add a flat seat cushion in a plain weave, then angle the chair towards a window so it faces the light.
