Hi Design Addict Community,
Last weekend an electrical fire claimed our home. My children, wife and I are safe. Even our dog got out. Our belongings including clothes, momentos, photos, etc were destroyed. Unfortunately the wind that night was over 20mph and once the windows gave out, the fire consumed the house. Unfortunately my collection of furniture and art was totally destroyed.
The reason for the post is that I need some Design Addict reader help identifying a rocker. A couple years ago I bought the rocker for my wife as a maternity present. It was in rough shape and I had it re-upholstered. When it was done she loved it and it lived in our living room.
A couple years back, I posted a photo of the "finished" product on this site and asked if anyone had ideas about designer or manufacturer (pictured). It was unmarked. The consensus from DA commenters was Westnofa.

However in the interim I came across another similar rocker that was marked Westnofa and quite different (pictured). I gave that Westnofa rocker to my cousin and his wife who were also expecting their first child. They live in Philly so I no longer have access to it for easy comparison. The chairs are significantly different in terms of material, design, scale. It leads me to think that they might be from different manufacturers.
I'm wondering if anyone has further ideas of the blue chairs origin. We have a long road back but I'd like to try to restore some sembalence of our former lives and this chair was important to us.
Thanks,
Rich

Westnofa, Norway
So sorry to hear about your situation. Thankfully, you and your family were very lucky and no one was hurt, or worse. As far as I can tell about your rocker, it's Westnofa.

Just bumped into one. It is said to be "Ingman Retling" for a Westnofa.

Oh and if my quotes didn't make it clear, I suspect that "ingman retling" is a corruption of "Ingmar Relling."

Thanks so much
I'll get in contact with the dealer. My wife loved the chair and I'd love to surprise her with a replacement.
