Hans J. Wegner J16 Rocking Chair in White Lacquered Beech
A classic Danish rocking chair by Hans J. Wegner – simple, sculptural, and with the characteristic organic form that makes the J16 an icon in Danish furniture design.
The rocking chair is made of white lacquered beech wood and features the soft, rounded lines that characterize Wegner's J16. The high back and wide armrests give the chair an inviting and comfortable expression, while the black leather neck cushion adds an elegant graphic contrast to the light wood.
A timeless piece of furniture that works equally well in a modern home as in a more classic interior – and at the same time adds a clear reference to Danish design history to the room.
Selected with a focus on curated finds with soul, history, and character – supplemented by iconic Danish design.

Hans J. Wegner (1914–2007) is considered one of the most significant Danish furniture designers and was a central figure in what later became known as Danish Modern. He worked with wood as his primary material and was known for refining the construction, comfort, and form of furniture down to the essential.
