Inspiration
Rocking chairs are reserved for the special moments: moments spent making, debating, thinking deeply, or trying not to think at all. Approaching its design with a place-based perspective, Dutch designer Ineke Hans reimagined the classic rocking chair to create the Rocker. The Rocker brings together traditional outport design and the contemporary vision of Fogo Island Inn.The hand-turned wooden spindles on this chair are split, creating a new profile and giving a comfortable surface to rest. The Rocker embodies the plain and the fancy, the humble and the bold.
Fabrication
Made using regionally sourced birch by our craftspeople at Fogo Island Workshops. Available in a range of finishes including hand-buffed Danish Oil, which deepens the amber colour of the wood, and White Oil, which neutralizes the amber tone for a raw matte look. Both absorb into the wood and richen the grain. A variety of coloured lacquers are available.The optional, down-filled cushions use knitting patterns and techniques that were traditionally used to make insulated mittens and socks. This creates a seat as warm and steadfast as the knitter who made it. Inquire as to available colour choices.
