A quintessential example of American Streamline Moderne design, this rare tubular steel rocking chair is by Wolfgang Hoffmann for the Howell Company, circa the 1930s. The chair showcases a dramatic structural framework, where sweeping circular steel tubes transition from supportive armrests into a continuous, fluid rocking base. The deep-seated "swoop" design is engineered for a smooth, stable rocking motion. Three vertical rods on each side anchor the geometric layout, capturing the industrial elegance of the Machine Age. The frame features a refined brushed steel finish that highlights its sleek architectural lines. Both the seat and back cushions have been freshly upholstered in a premium, top-grain leather in a sophisticated shade of sage-gray, offering exceptional comfort while strictly honoring the original art deco profile. This rocking chair is truly a statement piece perfect for any elevated Art Deco or Modern interior.
