A striking Gemini Rocking Chair designed by Walter S. Chenery for Lurashell, England, 1960s.
This sculptural chair features a moulded black fibreglass shell set on a beautifully shaped solid afromosia base, combining futuristic design with warm, organic materials. Recently reupholstered in a burnt sienna wool fabric, the chair’s soft curves invite relaxation while maintaining its bold, space-age silhouette.
Minor age-related patina is visible on the shell exterior — a gentle nod to its vintage authenticity — yet nothing that detracts from the presence and poise of this iconic piece.
A rare and collectable example of British mid-century innovation, blending craftsmanship, comfort, and sculptural form in perfect balance.
