Rocking-chair Rocking-chair

When you think of the rocking chair, an image springs to mind: that of the old granny knitting socks while rocking gently back and forth. But the rocking chair is no longer just for senior citizens. This piece of vintage furniture is back in the spotlight, thanks to a reworked design that brings the rocking chair up to date. Shapes, materials and colors have been rethought to fit perfectly into the home.

Where does the rocking chair come from?

The very first rocking chair dates back to the 1700s, in England. The very first models were made of wood. With the colonization of America, they were found across the Atlantic.

In 1860, designer Michael Thonet proposed the first curved wooden chair for a softer, more enveloping seat. The design continued to evolve, from wooden rattan and fabric or velvet upholstery to the pure Scandinavian style.

Whether in wood, metal, rattan or even plastic for a child's bedroom, for example, the rocking chair brings a touch of chic and charm to any room in your home.

Why consider a rocking chair?

Unlike a meridienne or sofa, the rocking chair offers an all-encompassing seat that soothes the back and invites well-being and relaxation after a long, tiring day. Its two parallel, curved legs provide a delicate, restful rocking motion. Breast-feeding mothers appreciate its use, which calms and lulls baby to sleep while he's nursing.

Ultra-versatile, the rocking chair comes in all shapes and materials. Ideal for decorating your bedroom or living room. Some models are UV- and weather-resistant, so they'll look great in any garden.
