There's something about a wooden rocking chair that will always evoke images of slow, sunny days – especially when styled outdoors on a porch or terrace. This aesthetic is iconic – but not quite as iconic as Martha Stewart, the lifestyle mogul who is continuing her expansion into outdoor furniture design.

In 2022, Martha announced her partnership with Polywood, the quality outdoor furniture manufacturer that's renowned for its sustainability. Since then, she has blessed us with various dining sets, loungers, and armchairs, but her Chinoiserie Rocking Chair (available at QVC) is arguably her most whimsical (and most beautiful) drop to date.

If you're looking for another sign that Martha's Chinoiserie Collection is worth the investment, turn to her Bedford farm – or her Winter House Terrace, to be exact.

'Have you seen my all-weather furniture by Polywood? These chairs and table [available at Polywood] are part of my Chinoiserie Collection,' Martha shared, alongside some photos on her blog.

'These pieces stay out all season long and are designed to withstand storms and strong winds. They are so durable and look perfect year after year.'

Alongside her dining chairs, Martha uses this Polywood accent table (available at QVC) to create a container garden display on her terrace.

'My Chinoiserie Accent Tables by Polywood are great for displaying some of my potted plants. This outdoor furniture comes in a variety of colors, including my signature Bedford gray,' she says. You can shop for her picks from her QVC collection below.

Whether styled on a front porch, terrace, or even indoors as a nostalgic accent, the Chinoiserie Rocking Chair captures exactly what makes Martha’s outdoor vision so enduring: comfort, charm, and pieces designed to last season after season.
