Tauno Setälä made this rocking chair at the war front in Syväri. His daughter sat in it at home in the Amuri district of Tampere in the end of 1940s. Until quite late in the 20th century, rocking chairs were considered luxury items and they were offered as seats to respected guests only. A two-seat rocking chair was a popular gift to an engaged couple. It was a decent place for them to sit and become more acquainted.
