1940s bent beech rocking chair designed by Yngve Ekström for ESE Möbler, featuring its original woven seat.
Rocking chair designed in the 1940s by Yngve Ekström for ESE Möbler, the Swedish company he founded together with his brother Jerker. The bent beech frame creates a light, continuous silhouette, with curved armrests that echo the movement of the rockers, expressing a refined balance between technique and form. The seat and backrest are made of woven textile webbing, likely cotton or a blended fiber typical of Scandinavian production of the period. The fabric is in excellent condition and enhances the graphic texture of the weave. Yngve Ekström was a key figure in Swedish modernism, committed to creating democratic, functional and accessible furniture that combined comfort, craftsmanship and industrial production. This rocking chair fully reflects his philosophy through organic lines, structural harmony and a restrained yet welcoming aesthetic.
Good condition. May show signs of age. Please pay attention to the photographs.
