Sgarsul (Neapolitan dialect and means “scugnizzo” or street urchin) rocking chair designed by the renowned architect and designer Gae Aulenti in 1962 for Poltronova Italy.
She made her debut as a designer with this remarkable piece of furniture, when she was just in her thirties.
The chair is a modern reinterpretation of Thonet's famous rocking chair No1 from 1862. It shows how Aulenti saw innovation, not as a complete departure from the past, but as a creative and inventive dialogue with it.
The chair has black lacquered bent beech plywood stucture with a sleek black gloss finish, that gives it a modern and elegant appearance.
The cognac/brick red leather seating is still original and in very good condition. Also the wooden frame is excellent. Only little traces of wear.
I have official proof of authenticity such as vintage catalogs,
designer records,
or other literature sources and take full responsibility for any authenticity issues arising
