Mid Century Modern Find of the Week: Candy-Striped Model 97 Rocker

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.
