Our Story

Where It All Began

My Rocking Chair was founded on a simple but enduring conviction: that a rocking chair done well is one of the finest things you can have in your home.

It began with a frustration familiar to anyone who has ever tried to furnish a living space with genuine intention. On one side, the high street offered flat-pack furniture built to last a season. On the other, design studios quoted prices that belonged on fine art. Somewhere between the two, the rocking chair — one of the oldest and most beloved pieces of furniture in human history — had been quietly overlooked.

The Memory Behind the Mission

Our founder had grown up with a rocking chair in the family home. It was where his grandmother read in the evenings, where his mother settled with a newborn, where he himself had drifted off as a child to the gentle back-and-forth of wood on stone. That chair outlasted sofas, sideboards, and three house moves. It was never replaced because it never needed to be.

That memory became a mission. My Rocking Chair was built to bring that experience within reach — for nurseries and reading nooks, for sun-drenched terraces and cosy living rooms, for anyone who has ever wanted to slow the day down for just a moment.

How We Choose Our Chairs

Every chair in our collection is selected with care: for the quality of its frame, the honesty of its materials, and the durability of its craft. Whether upholstered in soft corduroy velvet, woven from all-weather rattan, or built from solid natural wood, each piece is designed to earn its place in your home for years to come.

We do not chase trends. We look for chairs that reward patience — pieces that look as good in ten years as they do on the day they arrive.
