The iconic rocking lounge chair from Unopiù – a sculptural individual piece made of solid teak that rocks gently without any mechanism.
The Swing rocking lounge chair rocks without springs, without rods, without mechanism: only the curved shape of the solid teak runners creates a gentle rocking motion. This physical principle makes the Swing lounge chair one of the most fascinating pieces of furniture in modern garden design – an afternoon by the pool becomes something special. Unopiù's oriental-Mediterranean sense of form meets the warmth and durability of teak: a combination that has set standards since the company's founding in 1977.
The lounge chair consists of individually curved teak slats, which are assembled to form a stable, yet elegant frame. Teak wood is naturally weather-resistant, contains natural oils, and develops a characteristic silver patina over time – or maintains its warm honey color with occasional teak oil care. No paint, no coating, no chemical treatment – just the wood in its purest form.
With a length of 161 cm, the Swing lounge chair offers generous reclining comfort, and the seat height of only 21 cm gives it a distinctly low-to-the-ground, relaxed posture. It is stackable – ideal for terraces where lounge chairs can be set up or stored as needed. Optionally, it is available with a soft cushion roll in Nuvola (white) and an AISI 304 stainless steel bracket, with which the lounge chair can be suspended off the ground.
The Swing lounge chair is the centerpiece of Unopiù's Swing collection. As complements, we recommend the matching Swing stool as a footrest or side table, as well as the Swing bracket for wall mounting. Further teak classics can be found in the Unopiù range.

Frequently asked questions about the Unopiù Swing Rocking Lounge Chair
How does it rock without a mechanism?
The curved runner shape of the teak frame acts like a cradle: the center of gravity of the person lying on it sets the lounge chair into a gentle swinging motion. Not a single moving component is needed for this – only the geometry of the wood.
Do I need the stainless steel bracket?
No. The bracket is an optional accessory that allows the lounge chair to be suspended off the ground – for example, from a pergola or terrace roof. Without the bracket, the lounge chair stands firmly on its runners.
How many lounge chairs can be stacked?
The Swing lounge chair is designed for stacking. Typically, up to 4–5 pieces are recommended to be stacked one on top of the other to ensure safe storage.
Is the cushion roll included in the price?
No. The cushion roll in Nuvola (white) is an accessory and is charged separately in the "with cushion roll" variant. It can be reordered at any time.
