A hand-built rocking chair designed around comfort, balance, and visual rhythm.
This piece is constructed from solid hardwood and shaped almost entirely by hand; from the carved seat to the tapered legs and spindles. The result is a chair that feels light and open, while still being structurally grounded and built to last.
The seat is carved into a shallow dish to support the body naturally, with a continuous curve that flows into a fan of slender back spindles. These spindles rise into a gently angled headrest, creating a flexible back that adapts subtly as you sit. The arms are set deliberately to frame the sitter without crowding, and the rocker profile is tuned for a smooth, controlled motion rather than exaggerated swing.
Every joint is mechanically locked using traditional joinery with expansion wedges, providing long-term durability without reliance on hidden hardware. Subtle details like the contrasting wedges and through joinery are left visible as part of the design.
Finished with a hand-applied hardwax oil, the surface retains a natural feel while offering durable protection.
This chair is made one at a time, and each piece will carry slight variation in grain, tone, and shaping which is part of what makes it unique.
