Verv

Rocking Chair

Design Fanny Axnér & Siri Boekhout

The Verv rocking chair is designed by Fanny Axnér and Siri Boekhout, both recent graduates from Stockholm’s Beckmans College of Design. They developed Verv collaboratively with Nola as an alternative to stationary seating. Whereas the majority of seats are static, Verv enables those seated to sway backwards and forwards as they rock the chair. Research conducted in retirement centres shows that these subtle, so-called ‘micro-movements’ are beneficial to overall mobility and well-being. Verv is crafted in steel and designed with generous proportions that make it accessible to a wide range of body types and levels of mobilities. Verv is designed with reinforcements that prevent it from tipping over when rocked.
