Vintage Design
A rare design object with sophisticated function. The elegantly curved and ergonomic shape of the seat in the profile of the rocking chair, which can be found in many designs by NII, is striking. The seat is made of synthetic leather and is stabbed. The image of the seams looks like a simple ornament on the seat. The runners are made of wood. The armrests, on the other hand, made of black plastic, which can be seen in the context of the time of the design. The folding mechanism is smooth and works perfectly. It is just 18 cm wide together.
There is special information about this design. Due to its functional folding mechanism, it is also used as part of space travel. Returned ISS astronauts are placed in this chairs after they exit the Kazakh steppe.
