Rocking Chair from Fredericia Furniture

Wegner J16 Accessories P1600H by Hans J. Wegner

The 'J16 Rocking Chair' is one of the many pieces of furniture that stand out in Wegner's collection as a true classic. The rocking chair as a furniture type, caught Wegner's interest early in his career, which was one of the reasons why 'J16' was one of the first chairs by Wegner to go into production. Originating in 1944, when it was first produced, the iconic piece of furniture celebrates 75 years on the market, which is marked by a launch of the chair at Fredericia Furniture. Before then, the rocking chair has undergone adjustments in production to simplify the production method as much as possible without compromising on the exclusive quality. And it is precisely this quality that Fredericia Furniture ensures, with its exquisite carpentry that embraces the originality of the furniture. In the 1950s, dark wood was particularly characteristic of furniture in Denmark, as can also be seen in the new launch, but in keeping with the new era, the rocking chair is now also available in lighter oak and warm walnut.

Although 'J16' itself is designed with fantastic comfort, Wegner chose to design complementary cushions that can both enhance the seating experience but also personalise the furniture. The cushions are crafted in classic textiles and leathers that beautifully complement each chair. The cushions are fitted but simple straps that make it flexible as needed.

• Made in Semi-aniline leather or Natural Linen textile.
• When cleaning Semi-aniline leather, a damp cloth without detergent is recommended for daily cleaning. In case of stains, it is recommended to leave them and thus wear down over time, as part of the patina, or a wet cloth can be used. Avoid using detergents or sharp objects to protect the surface.
• Avoid allowing textiles and leather to come into contact with liquids or oils. If stains occur, professional cleaning is recommended.
