Rocking Chair
GE673
In 1967 Wegner returned to the theme of the Rocking Chair and designed a version for Getama which can be assembled and taken apart at will (GE673). The Chair was showcased at a special exhibition together with other furniture especially designed for the company.
The new collection for Getama included the Hammock Chair. Wegner had
experimented with laminated wood supporting the body with a web of woven flag halyard. A technique he had previously employed in his 1958 Web Chairs, (PP129). The Hammock Chair was relaunched in 2014 by PP Møbler as PP 135. A little more than six months later, in January 1968, PP135 helped Wegner on his way to winning the American International Design Award for his collective contribution to furniture design.
