Thonet rocking chair 1955

Vintage rocking chair by Oswald Haerdtl, Thonet, Austria, 1955. It combines a metal frame with a bent wood seat, and its distinctive design is highlighted by a bright red finish. The construction of this chair is based on a tubular metal structure and solid wood rockers, both lacquered in a vibrant red colour. The seat and backrest are formed from a single piece of moulded wood, offering an ergonomic and continuous silhouette. This manufacturing method ensures both comfort and durability. The chair is presented in good vintage condition, retaining its original structure and functionality. The red lacquer finish shows a patina that reflects its history and use over time, adding character to the piece. It is structurally sound and ready to be used. With its Mid-Century Modern aesthetic, this rocking chair fits perfectly in a living room, bedroom, or reading nook. Its bright colour can serve as a focal point in a minimalist or Scandinavian decor, or complement an eclectic or retro arrangement. Very good original condition. Dimensions. W 55 × H 72 × D 60 cm · seat height 35 cm.
