This gorgeous Danish modern rocker was designed by Holger Georg Jensen for Tønder Møbelværk in 1958.
This piece is known as Model 97, and these surface occasionally, but this particular piece is a bit special as it retains its colorful original candy striped wool upholstery.
There is not much known about this designer, and his pieces are commonly attributed to Søren Georg Jensen, but most of (Holger) Jensen's work was done for a company called Kubus in the early- to mid-1960s.

It's a unique piece and i like it. However, aesthetically, the vertical upright looks totally out of place. In contrast with some of the other sweeping forms of the piece, does anyone else see that? Kinda wrecks the form and movement of the rocker...
