home: favourite thing [ IKEA rocking chair ] 

This week we look at a new piece in the IKEA range and it’s an immediate favourite.

The new GRONADAL chair is a modern take on the traditional woven rattan rocking chair. 

As with the nature of a hand woven piece – every chair is one of a kind. The structure is built from beautiful natural materials – ash and rattan. 

The design is modern and light weight and would look perfect in a cool minimal Scandi-influenced designed home. 

£145 

The designer says;
The idea behind GRÖNADAL rocking chair was to make a rocking chair that joins different materials and expressions in unexpected ways. Rattan and ash are vibrant natural materials that age beautifully, and create an interesting contrast to the powder-coated steel. The seat and back are hand-woven using traditional techniques, while the light shape brings modern Scandinavian design to mind. Every part is made with love and care – which I hope you’ll feel when using it.

A once favourite for suburban semi conservatory furniture and popular up until the last couple of decades, rattan has had a recent surge of popularity and with many brands designing new chic modern styles, rattan is the perfect addition to the contemporary home. 

It’s flexible and sits well with both minimalist interiors as well as bohemian ecletic styles. 

Create the perfect look with dark wood floors, kilim rugs (we love the selection at West Elm), fresh white walls and lace white curtains (try IKEA Alvine Spets).
