Fuuga swing

The Fuuga swing is a sample of the skill of designer Kalle Ranka. The rocking chair, updated for the 21st century, is the first product to be produced by Urjala Keinukaluste, which is not designed by the Saari family. Fugue prevails with its modern look and is incredibly good to sit on!

Making leg swings

One of the most characteristic features of traditional leg swings are the beautiful lathes that adorn the legs of the Urjala swing and the Home swing, the intermediate surfaces of the legs and the surfaces of the armrests. The chair-like and graceful Rebekka swing is the uncrowned queen of turned spokes, the number of spokes that can sometimes make even a more experienced lathe and assembler a wheel head.

Designed to be used

Each swing is unique and therefore requires precision and patience from the whole person. The seating comfort and aesthetics are enhanced by various curved parts, such as the back surfaces, the shoulder board, the armrests and the bench. Of these, the manufacture of the bench, in particular, is a multi-stage process that includes sawing, gluing and sanding — sometimes blood, sweat and tears. As a natural material, wood sometimes behaves unpredictably, so the assembly phase requires cold nerves. Also, the legs require special skills so that they swing and hold well.

The final touch
The surface handler gives the swings the finishing touch. We use high-quality surface treatment materials and recycle the metal waste that results from them. In darker colors, the swing is stained, and then the base is varnished. In lighter colors, the stain is mixed directly with the base varnish. After the base varnish or paint has dried, an intermediate sanding is performed, in which the upright wood chips are sanded flat. Finally, the swing receives another layer of surface varnish or paint.

Upholstery

Finally, at the request of the customer, upholstery can be attached to the swing. We make the upholstery as a domestic subcontracting job and attach them to the swing in the workshop. Finally, the year number and brand are hammered on the bottom, and the swing is ready to be sent to the customer. Our carefully crafted swings are the result of solid craftsmanship, consideration of the environment and appreciation of Finnish expertise.

It is a matter of honor for our professional staff to manufacture durable and beautiful domestic rocking chairs.
