Remodelista Reconnaissance: A Cane-Back Rocker in a Designer’s Summer Bedroom

August 18, 2026

In keeping with this week’s Summer from the Archives issue, we’re diving (back) into a favorite Remodelista story to excavate the source of one particular detail. The project? A Colonial House in Bellport with Uncommon Style from French Designer C. S. Valentin. The detail? A lightweight cane rocking chair in the corner of a bedroom.

Read on:

The Sighting

Above: The cane chair in question is in a guest room in designer C.S. Valentin’s Bellport house. We’re drawn to its minimal lines and visual lightness (thanks, in part, to the caned back). Styling by Alexa Hotz and photography by Jonathan Hökklo for Remodelista.

The Source

some sleuthing revealed the chair to be ikea&#8\2\17;s grönadal. it&#8 18
Above: Some sleuthing revealed the chair to be Ikea’s Grönadal. It’s been discontinued since our story on Valentin’s place first went live, but it can be found secondhand online on sites like AptDeco and 1stdibs.

Or, for rocking chairs with a similar vibe, try the Ixtapa Rocking Chair ($380), Bali & Pari Mahin Natural Rattan Rocking Chair ($443.99), or Beltaine Wicker Rocker Lounge Chair ($799).
