Description
A pair of gently rocking armchairs by Lamitech Furniture, produced in Dry Creek, South Australia.
Often associated with renowned designer Joe Rufenacht, whose own factory operated nearby in the Barossa Valley, these chairs likely bear the mark of his design influence.
They feature quality salmon-coloured Howe leather upholstery, paired with elegant bentwood frames—a hallmark of the Danish-inspired style that defined the era.
Oh, and did I mention they’re super comfy? The gentle rocking motion and ergonomic design make them as relaxing as they are stylish. A true blend of mid-century craftsmanship and everyday comfort.
