Where does the inspiration for the EKKO rocking chair come from?
The EKKO rocking chair is a modern reinterpretation of the legendary Boston rocker. My goal was to revisit its iconic curves and silhouette to offer my own unique vision of this classic design.
What are the best wood species for a durable rocking chair?
For a rocking chair that will last for generations, solid hardwoods like black walnut, white oak, and cherry are ideal. These species are selected for their strength and unique grain patterns. Walnut offers timeless elegance, while cherry develops a rich patina over time. Each chair is finished with a hardwax oil to protect the wood while enhancing its natural texture.
Why choose a handcrafted rocking chair made in Quebec?
Investing in a handcrafted rocking chair from Quebec means supporting local expertise and quality that far exceeds industrial standards. The EKKO chair, for instance, requires over 50 hours of meticulous labor. Every joint is hand-fitted by a passionate woodworker, ensuring structural integrity and an impeccable finish that only Quebec craftsmanship can provide.
How do I maintain a solid wood rocking chair to keep its luster?
Maintaining an oiled solid wood chair is simple. Dust it regularly with a soft, dry cloth and avoid harsh chemicals. All chairs are treated with high-quality OSMO hardwax oil, which is highly resistant to wear. A light oil touch-up after several years is usually enough to restore the wood's original glow.

Can a wooden rocking chair truly be ergonomic?
Absolutely. Ergonomics are at the heart of the EKKO chair’s design. With its stylized headrest and carefully contoured backrest, it provides optimal support for both the back and neck. The precision-laminated rockers ensure a smooth, stable motion, proving that solid wood furniture can offer superior comfort.
