Formed from steam-bent beechwood, the frame showcases continuous, flowing lines with no heavy joints or carving, including the signature large scrolls and loops that shape the rockers, arms, and supports. The warm, medium-brown stained finish highlights the smooth grain and seamless curvature of the wood. Both the seat and tall backrest are fitted with traditional woven cane, offering strength, breathability, and light visual balance against the sculptural frame. Closely aligned with well-known Thonet models such as the No. 10 rocker, this chair reflects the innovative bentwood techniques that transformed modern furniture design. It remains a functional and timeless piece suited to both antique-inspired and contemporary interiors. See less
