If rocking chairs conjure visions of Grandma and her knitting needles, then it’s darned time for a fresh perspective. Take a glimpse at the popular reinvention of this classic chair.
The higher a chair is, the less comfortable it is, I feel. The low profile and unique contours of the Fava rocker at Knoend, aptly named for its bean-like shape, balance your posture in contemporary style.
If you’re still skeptical that recycled car parts can yield chic décor, then the Gothic rocker at Vivavi will make a believer of you. Its minimalist frame is webbed with post-industrial seatbelts for a combination that is the epitome of sophistication.
Prefer something with a little more flash? Made from recycled aluminum, the Hudson rocker by Phillipe Stark at Structured Green is a shining example of a designer putting a modern spin on traditional seating (shown at top).
If you’re sold on this fabulous fad, check out the flowing form of the nature-inspired rockers by Jolyon Yates.
