Ineke Hans


Ineke Hans Studio's country rock chair is made from lime wood. The chair's simple, chunky and basic design means that it looks like a modern take on the traditional, but the textures in the wood are different to those initialy expected and the joint design mean that the chair could only be made now and not a 100 years ago.

Reno Bonzon

It is said that the curved forms of both seat and back were defined by Reno Bonzon, as he sat in deep snow during a stay in French Alps and looked at his body print after standing up. Reno wanted to reproduce this comfortable form. He paid a special attention to both dimensions and balance making this rocking chair making it very comfortable whatever the size of the person. It is an elegant wonderfully ergonomic chair and is now established as a design classic and available in many different woods.
