The light wood rattan and cane rocking chair immediately evokes a country spirit, with a gentle look and a material that dialogues naturally with the living room or a veranda. Its generous seat and openwork backrest offer enveloping comfort, while the interplay of rattan and cane brings a light and refined presence. A second-hand piece, it lends itself readily to a reading nook, near a lamp and a wool throw, for peaceful moments. We can also imagine it in a bedroom, accompanied by a side table and a book placed within reach. Like any vintage piece, it bears the marks of its history: a small flaw on the leg.

A brief history of the rocking chair
The rocking chair first appeared in English families in the 18th century. It reflects a new way of life for a society aspiring to more comfort and frivolity in its daily life. The Thonet family firm seized upon the model to reinvent the rocking chair using the technique of steam-bent wood. The rocking chair caused a sensation in Europe and was imported to the United States, where it became a staple of the American Empire style. Its gentle swaying is perfect for drifting into daydreams with a good cup of tea!
