The Penguin Rocking Chair leans towards the American modernists from the 1950s and 1960s. So beautiful that it can be displayed as a work of art in any home, it is open in its construction with a curved back of oak or walnut veneer and has a seat upholstered in fabric or leather against the stringent steel frame. Contrasting and playful, while being well-proportioned and fully formed, the chair, designed by furniture designer Ib Kofod-Larsen in 1953, is a piece of Danish cultural heritage and design history – and maybe more modern than ever before with its beautiful silhouette and sculptural, organic lines and curves.

Andrew Z. ★★★★★

The curved open frame makes it feel light in the room instead of bulky, and it's become my reading spot every evening. Rocking motion is smooth and quiet too.

Timothy ★★★★★

I bought this for the corner of my bedroom and it's become my favorite spot for morning coffee. The curved frame hugs your back just right, and the rock is smooth and quiet. It genuinely looks like a piece of mid-century art, not just furniture.

Claire C. ★★★★★

The open frame makes my small living room feel way less cluttered than my old bulky recliner did. Rocking in it with a book after work has basically become my nightly ritual now.
