Danish Teak Rocking Chair, Model 182 — Frank Reenskaug for Bramin Møbler, 1960s
Available singly — in mustard or powder-blue — or as a pair.
One of the most recognisable rocking chairs of the Danish modern era, the Model 182 was designed by Frank Reenskaug for Bramin Møbelfabrik in 1958. The solid teak frame is a study in considered engineering — raked uprights, slender spindles across an open back, and the signature X-frame that draws arm, backrest and runner into a single flowing line. Visually light yet structurally sound, it carries the quiet confidence of the best Scandinavian design, with every element earning its place — an increasingly difficult piece to find in this fully restored condition.
Authenticity: As is common with Bramin, the original paper label — always a lightly applied sticker — is no longer present. The attribution is confirmed against well-documented examples: the execution of the X-frame and rounded leg joints, the placement of the fixings and the Allen-head screws, and the quality of the teak all read true to the Danish original, and stand clearly apart from later local interpretations of the form.
