Rapson High Back Lounge Chair by Ralph Rapson from Loll Designs

The son of midcentury architect Ralph Rapson, Toby Rapson, was working to put his father's classic designs back into production when he bumped into Loll founder Greg Benson at an event in Minneapolis. The meeting prompted Rapson to rethink his father's rocking chair as an eco-friendly outdoor rocker made from recycled material. “It became a collaboration between us and Loll to translate the chairs Ralph Rapson drew to a new innovative product,” Toby said. The Rapid Rocker was originally designed for manufacturer Knoll in the 1940's. This High Back Lounge Chair is an extension of the Rapson vision, using materials and manufacturing that was not available in the mid-century.
