1940s rocking chair in bent beech, designed by Yngve Ekström for ESE Möbler, with original woven seat.
Rocking chair designed in the 1940s by Yngve Ekström for ESE Möbler, a Swedish company founded by Ekström himself with his brother Jerker. The curved beech structure draws a continuous and light profile, with arched armrests that accompany the movement of the skates, expressing a refined synthesis between technique and form. The seat and backrest are made with a textile ribbon weave, probably a cotton or mixed fiber ribbon, typical of Scandinavian production of the period. The fabric is in excellent condition and enhances the graphic texture of the weave. Yngve Ekström was a central figure of Swedish modernism: his work is based on the idea of democratic, functional and accessible furniture, capable of combining comfort, quality craftsmanship and industrial production. This rocking chair fully reflects his philosophy, with organic lines, structural balance and a simple yet welcoming aesthetic.
Good condition. It may show some signs of aging. Please pay attention to the photographs.
