The Design Story

Interlaced leather, sculptural solid wood, and the quiet movement of a modern rocking chair

Rémi brings an architectural perspective to the familiar rocking chair, replacing traditional spindlework and generous upholstery with a striking composition of solid wood and interwoven leather. Its low, reclining silhouette is defined by long, deliberate angles, gently rounded wooden edges, and an open framework that makes the chair's construction an essential part of its appearance.

The solid wood frame creates a distinctive sculptural profile. Broad, angular side supports transition into elongated rocking runners, while the inclined backrest establishes a relaxed seating position. Rather than concealing its structure, Rémi celebrates the relationship between each wooden element, allowing the geometry, joinery, and generous areas of open space to give the chair its unmistakable character.

Handwoven leather strips form both the seat and backrest, creating a tightly organized lattice of horizontal and vertical bands. The repeated intersections introduce visual rhythm and tactile richness, contrasting beautifully with the smoother lines of the surrounding wood. The leather provides a flexible seating surface, while its warm, cognac-like coloration complements the natural tones of the frame.

01 Sculptural Solid Wood Frame: Strong angular supports, softened edges, and an open profile create a distinctive architectural silhouette.
02 Handwoven Leather Construction: Interlaced leather strips form the seat and backrest, introducing flexible support and a richly patterned surface.

05 Mid-Century Modern Influence: A reclined backrest, exposed structure, and disciplined geometry give the traditional rocker a contemporary interpretation.

Material Character

The Nature of the Piece

The wooden framework has a warm, honeyed character, with visible grain providing subtle movement across its broad, smoothly contoured surfaces. Its substantial side members are shaped into an angular, open silhouette, their rounded transitions softening the geometry without diminishing its structural clarity. Light catches the curves and edges of the frame, emphasizing the careful balance between substantial wooden elements and the open spaces they enclose.

The leather introduces an entirely different texture. Individual strips cross in an orderly woven arrangement, creating a grid of overlapping bands across both the seat and backrest. These intersections produce delicate changes in surface height, shadow, and reflectivity, giving the chair a tactile complexity that conventional smooth upholstery would not provide.

No two homes come together in quite the same way—and neither do the pieces chosen for them. Our collection brings together furnishings and objects from a variety of makers and manufacturers, each with its own production schedules, shipping methods, and delivery options.

We consider those differences part of the process of sourcing pieces with character. Whether an item arrives by parcel within days, travels by freight, or is prepared especially for your order, our focus remains the same: selecting pieces worth bringing into your home and making the journey from their source to your space as thoughtful as possible.

A well-considered home isn't assembled all at once. It takes shape piece by piece, through objects chosen not simply to fill a space, but to make that space feel like home.
