What customers say
Customers express overwhelmingly positive sentiment toward the Kartell SMATRIK Rocking Chair, primarily celebrating its exceptional, sculptural design by Tokujin Yoshioka. Reviewers consistently describe the chair as a 'piece of art' and a 'conversation starter,' noting that its intricate, woven polycarbonate structure brings a unique, high-design aesthetic to any modern interior. The innovative use of material is a major highlight; users are often surprised by the ergonomic comfort provided by the seemingly rigid structure, finding it supportive and adequately comfortable for short to moderate periods of relaxation. Quality is highly rated, aligning with Kartell's reputation for durable, precision-manufactured plastic furniture, making the chair robust yet lightweight and suitable for both indoor and covered outdoor environments. The rocking mechanism is smooth and subtle, adding to the chair's appeal. However, the primary point of contention, typical for high-end designer pieces, is the premium price tag. While design aficionados view the cost as a justified investment in an iconic piece of furniture, more budget-conscious consumers question the value for money compared to traditional, fully upholstered rocking chairs. Despite the price sensitivity, the overall consensus is that the SMATRIK chair delivers on its promise of avant-garde design and superior material execution, making it a highly desirable luxury item for those prioritizing aesthetics and brand prestige.
Know before you buy
No, the chair arrives fully assembled and ready for immediate use.
The seat is designed with a sinuous, ergonomic shape that provides natural support. While the material is firm, the 3D interweaving structure offers a degree of flexibility that contours to the body for refined comfort.
No, the Smatrik Rocking Chair is intended strictly for indoor use. The oak-stained wood base and chrome-plated frame are not treated for outdoor exposure.
The seat is crafted from ISCC-certified polycarbonate 2.0, which is derived from renewable biomass. It maintains the durability and transparency of traditional polycarbonate while significantly reducing the carbon footprint of the manufacturing process.
The chair measures 61 cm wide by 67 cm deep and 77 cm high. Its lightweight, open-weave design gives it a visual lightness that prevents it from feeling bulky, making it a great choice for smaller modern living spaces.
The polycarbonate shell can be easily cleaned with a soft, damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive soap. Avoid using harsh chemicals or scouring pads to preserve the finish and clarity of the material.
