Designed by Lina Bo Bardi in São Paulo, 1948–49, the Rocking Chair P13 features gentle curves and a unique, sculptural form. This design reflects Lina’s vision of modernism deeply connected to Brazilian culture. Inspired by Oscar Niemeyer’s sinuous architecture and the organic sensibility championed by Rino Levi, the chair blends comfort and innovation with a profound respect for craftsmanship.
