LPIDC05 Rocking Chair
Made by Exteta
Designed by Paola Navone
The LPIDC05 is a rocking chair conceived by Paola Navone for Exteta in collaboration with Loro Piana Interiors. Its curved runners are not a nostalgic gesture but a considered formal choice, one that reintroduces the body's own rhythm into outdoor living.
Navone's sensibility has always favored warmth over severity. Here, that instinct finds expression in a generous seat, tactile upholstery drawn from Loro Piana's textile heritage, and a wooden frame that ages with honesty under open skies. The chair belongs equally to a shaded veranda, a seaside deck, or a garden pavilion.
