Dear Laurent,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry and for your patience.
This item is a remarkable 105's (probably 1958) rocking chair designed by Takeshi Nii ( aluminum frame with wooden rockers and plastic armrests). Takeshi Wii's rocking chair designs aver very sought after at every auction lot. Very good condition, with signals of age.
Width: 55 cm
Depth: 88 cm
Height: 94 cm
Seat height: 41 cm
Let me know if you need any additional photos too, possibly of a maker's mark, to ensure authenticity, if this particular designer / studio was putting one on their chairs at the time.
Thanks.
