Add to Wishlist

The Rio Rocking Chair belongs to the furniture line Oscar Niemeyer — the Brazilian modernist architect behind Brasília and the United Nations Headquarters — designed with his daughter Anna Maria Niemeyer during his years of political exile in Paris. Frustrated that 1970s furniture failed to match the architecture of its time, Niemeyer set out to design his own, carrying the same sensual curves into three dimensions of wood and metal.

Designed in 1978 for Niemeyer’s own personal use, this rocking chair is arguably his most iconic furniture design, its unmistakable L-shaped seat in cane supported by a single sheet of bent black lacquered wood. A removable black leather cushion softens the ride, and each re-edition carries the embedded seal of the Fundação Oscar Niemeyer certifying its authenticity.
