Gebruder Thonet Schaukelstuhl Rocking Chair by GTV
The Gebrüder Thonet Schaukelstuhl Rocking Chair by GTV is a timeless icon of bentwood craftsmanship, first designed in 1885 and still handmade today using the same traditional techniques. Its sweeping curves, formed from steam-bent solid beechwood, create a graceful silhouette that feels both airy and sculptural. The fluid lines are complemented by a seat and backrest in finely woven Viennese cane, lending lightness, texture, and a classic warmth. This elegant form is achieved with remarkable ingenuity—most notably the continuous volute side element, shaped from a single piece of wood without joints or adhesives, a hallmark of Thonet’s design innovation.
A beloved piece for more than a century, the Schaukelstuhl has been cherished in both intimate living spaces and grand salons, admired by cultural figures such as Picasso, Achille Castiglioni, and Italo Calvino. Its gentle rocking motion offers comfort and relaxation, while its refined silhouette makes it equally at home in traditional, eclectic, or contemporary interiors. Today’s re-edition by Wiener GTV Design preserves the heritage of the original while offering a range of finishes to suit modern tastes, ensuring that this enduring masterpiece continues to bring beauty, craftsmanship, and quiet sophistication to any setting.
