Description

Vintage rocking chair, designed by Ludvík Volák, Holešov, Czechoslovakia, 1960s

1960s rocking chair designed by Ludvík Volák and manufactured by Dřevopodnik Holešov, a Czech manufacturer specializing in bent-plywood furniture. Volák was one of the company’s key designers and is best known for his sculptural bent-plywood room divider, which became an icon of Czechoslovak mid-century design. The chair has undergone a full restoration, including new upholstery, new cushion filling, and refinished wood. This model was produced in a short run and rarely appears on the vintage market, making it particularly appealing to collectors of Volák’s work.
