Vintage ‘Relaxer 2’ Rocking Chair by Verner Panton, 1974
A true design icon from 1974: the ‘Relaxer 2’ rocking chair by Verner Panton, produced by German manufacturer Rosenthal. While not Panton’s most famous creation, its sculptural form and playful elegance still makes it a real mid-century design icon.
This chair has a story. Sourced from the heirs of the original owners, it was used for years by their children as the ultimate gaming chair, now that’s a way to use this unique piece! Naturally, this playful history has added character to the beechwood frame. Far from distracting, it gives the chair a unique charm that modern reissues simply can’t match.
The original cushion was long gone, so we had a new one crafted with care. The seat now features high-quality Pantera foam upholstered in luxurious dark brown wool, creating a warm contrast with the light wooden frame and emphasizing the chair’s exclusive mid-century look and feel.
Despite its striking sculptural looks, the chair is supremely comfortable. The frame feels organic and natural under the body, offering the perfect amount of 'rock', just enough to make you want to linger. A rare vintage find that combines timeless design with everyday comfort, you don't find these often anymore.
