NANNY ROCKING CHAIR
Designed Nanna & Jørgen Ditzel
Nanny Rocking Chair is designed by Nanna Ditzel and is handmade by Indonesian sustainable rattan.
The fine bindings in the seat and back are made of skilled wicker workers.
The Nanny rocking chair contributes with a natural element in the living room or in a cottage.
This rocking chair was designed in 1969 but has never previously been in production until Sika-Design launched it in February 2013 at the Stockholm Furniture Fair.
DESIGNER
NANNA & JØRGEN DITZEL
Nanna Ditzel (1923-2005) was an internationally recognized Danish designer.
Together with her husband Jørgen Ditzel (1921-1961), their first furniture designs were exhibited while still students at the Arts and Crafts School in Copenhagen.
They quickly established their own design studio and started to work with wicker in the renowned workshop founded by the famous wicker worker Robert W. in 1950.
Ditzel’s experimental approach to materials resulted in multiple innovative furniture made of rattan.
This cooperation was the beginning of a renewed status for wicker furniture in interior design.

COLOR OPTIONS
ICONS | RATTAN
This furniture is handcrafted in rattan, which is one of the most sustainable materials available for furniture manufacturing. Rattan is often confused with bamboo, but unlike hollow bamboo, rattan is a solid material. This makes rattan furniture very durable, and able to last for generations.
When steamed for 10-15 minutes, rattan can be formed by hand using old traditional manufacturing techniques and a few simple tools. Rattan comes in 600 different variants and at Sika-Design we only use the two best qualities called Tohiti and Manau.

MAINTENANCE
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Our mission is to produce furniture that our customers can keep for many years, and with the right maintenance, maybe even for the rest of their lives.
Our top priority is to produce quality furniture that can last for generations and eliminate the need for frequent replacements. Due to this philosophy, the materials we use in the production of each piece of furniture must be durable and robust.
CLEANING OF SURFACES
- One of the great advantages of rattan is that it requires minimal maintenance. The material is naturally dirt-repellent and retains its strength and beauty for many years without the need for special treatment.
- For daily cleaning, you can wipe the furniture with a hard wrung cloth to remove dust and dirt. It is recommended to avoid excessive use of water, as the material can absorb it, which will weaken the fibers over time. You can also vacuum the furniture with a soft brush to remove dust from the woven details.
RATTAN FURNITURE
Rattan furniture is best suited for indoor use but in warm and dry climates it can also be used for covered outdoor areas such as verandas, conservatories and covered terraces, but should not be exposed to rain or humid environments such as pool areas, as water and moisture will shorten the life of the furniture.
If you take good care of your rattan furniture, it is capable of lasting for generations. To extend the life of our furniture, we have repair videos available that allow our customers to carry out simple repairs themselves, such as a loose binding. As rattan is a solid material, rattan furniture is virtually impossible to wear out.
We therefore hope that these cosmetic repairs can prolong the enjoyment of our furniture and delay the need for replacement. The repair videos can be viewed and downloaded here.
