An exceptional example of Swiss craftsmanship and understated modernist design, the "Nonna" rocking chair by renowned American designer Paul Tuttle for Strässle International is a rare and highly collectible piece from the early 1970s.

With its elegant silhouette, beautifully bent blackwood frame and refined black leather upholstery, the Nonna effortlessly balances sculptural aesthetics with outstanding comfort. The subtle rocking motion, combined with its ergonomically shaped seat and backrest, creates an inviting seating experience, making it equally suited for quiet moments of relaxation as for serving as a striking focal point in an interior.

Every detail has been carefully considered—from the graceful curvature of the bentwood frame to the sophisticated interplay of wood, steel and supple leather—resulting in a chair that feels as contemporary today as it did over fifty years ago.

Manufactured by Strässle International in Switzerland, a company renowned for producing some of Europe's finest modern seating, the Nonna embodies the exceptional quality and craftsmanship for which Swiss furniture design is admired worldwide.

Whether placed in a curated mid-century interior, a contemporary architectural home or an executive office, this rare rocking chair brings warmth, elegance and enduring design pedigree to any space.
