Vintage Design
The “Sgarsul” rocking chair is a reinterpretation of Thonet’s 1862 N1 cantilever armchair by Gae Aulenti, a leading architect and designer of Italian design. In this project, bourgeois values are challenged by stripping them of their austere severity and reinterpreting them with irony. The structure, as in the original Thonet chairs, is made of curved beech wood but lacquered in a colour that lightens the visual weight: white. The seat is made up of a black cowhide stitched shell, on which there are two padded cushions that provide extreme comfort: one for the nape of the neck and one to lift the knees. A timeless piece of design history.
