Paul Tuttle for Strässle International – Rocking chair, model "Nonna", 1972
A characterful rocking chair with a strong presence and references to the experimental design period of the 1970s.
The "Nonna" model, designed by Paul Tuttle for Strässle International, combines sculptural form with a relaxed seating experience. The chair balances between the functional and the artistic – where the rocking motion adds a calm, almost meditative dimension to the room.
The expression is striking, yet inviting. The soft forms and low, reclined profile make the chair ideal as a statement piece in both modern and more eclectic interiors.
Selected with a focus on originality, materials, and overall impression.
