When we hear the words “rocking chair” we immediately think at a type of chair with two curved bands of wood (also known as rockers) attached to the bottom of the legs, but Paco Capdell brings us a new vision. The Cuna Rocking Chair uses two wooden squares as the frame and either metal bars or dyneema rope that allow the seat to swing back and forth. According to Contemporist the Cuna Rocking Chair was launched at the Salone in Milan, and will be available in the US at Eurotrend Furniture.

An eye-catching almost futuristic interpretation of the classic rocking chair. A modern, dynamic piece of furniture built for comfort and which accommodates a variety of sitting positions. The shape of the rocking chair was partially inspired by a shell. This gives it a beautiful organic design which is raw on the outside but smooth and refined on the inside. A piece of furniture that provides a unique experience of inner tranquillity. The steel frame has been constructed without any transverse lines thus accentuating the floating appearance of the chair. The shell is made of vacuum-suctioned plastic and comes in black or white, and it can be purchsed from here.

This chair ( Keinu rocking chair ) is the new definition of rocking chairs, a modern rocking chair. His designer Eero Aarnio has once again designed a chair that both attracts the eye and also conforms perfectly to the body’s shape. The molded plastic seat upholstered with black leather facilitate a relaxed sitting posture and provide comfortable ride. Eero Aarnio drew the first version of the Keinu rocking chair already in the ‘80s. It has since been refined many times and is now finally ready. Price : 2,950€ from here.
