Overview

The Celosía Rocking Chair is a love letter to traditional Mexican furniture making, reimagined with a breathable lattice construction that feels effortless and modern. There’s something deeply grounding about the gentle sway of a well-made rocking chair. It invites you to slow down, to rock a baby to sleep, to read under the afternoon light, to simply exist in the present moment.

Design Details

The curved rocker base is engineered for a smooth, balanced motion without awkward tipping or uneven glide. A high latticed backrest supports your spine, while the woven seat distributes your weight evenly for long-lasting comfort. Sculpted armrests fit naturally under your hands, adding to the sense of calm and ease.

What makes this mecedora remarkable is the contrast of tone and texture, light cedar framed by darker hardwood accents. It’s not just visual appeal; it’s a dialogue between materials, showcasing the artisan’s ability to select, balance, and unite different woods into a cohesive, harmonious design.

Craftsmanship

Crafting a rocking chair that moves fluidly is an act of precision and patience. Every curve must be symmetrical, every joint secure, and every line intentional. One miscalculation and the rhythm is lost.

Artisans in Veracruz have mastered the mecedora for generations. This updated version pays homage to that heritage while introducing the celosía lattice technique, a hallmark of the Celosía Collection. The result is an heirloom piece that bridges comfort, craftsmanship, and contemporary design.

Ideal Applications

Covered porches: The timeless setting for a rocking chair.

Perfect Pairings

Pair it with the Celosía Adjustable Lounge Chair for a layered outdoor seating experience, or place two mecedoras facing each other with a small table between for quiet conversation. The chair’s clean lines and mixed wood tones integrate seamlessly with any piece from the Celosía Collection.

Care & Maintenance

Rocking chairs endure natural motion stress, so check joints annually to keep them secure. Clean the leather strapping with a damp cloth. Over time, cedar will silver softly while dark hardwoods will deepen in tone, developing a beautiful natural patina. To maintain the original color, apply a light wood oil once a year.
