Contraforma Mom Rocking Chair

Filed under: Decor

Entirely upholstered in a blend of wool, viscose and flax, this chair proves that rocking chairs need not be uncomfortable or limited to use on the porch or the baby's room. The feminine curves of the funky olive green embellishments contrast nicely with the more masculine lines of the rocker, giving a decidedly modern feel to an old classic. Constructed of plywood and high resilience polyurethane, this cool cocoa brown rocker measures 33"x42.5"x39"h and is also is also available in olive green with brown embellishment. $1795.

Golden Cradle Studded with Diamonds, Rubies, and Emeralds

Wow, way back in the 18th century they really knew how to bling things up. And unlikely things too, like this baby's cradle. Covered in gold and set with more than 2,000 gems including diamonds, rubies, and emeralds, it's currently on display in Tokyo at a special exhibit that includes about 140 other antique treasures from the Ottoman Empire (which came before the Republic of Turkey). The items will be on display through September 24th in honor of the birth of Prince Hisahito to the Japanese Emporer's son Prince Akishino and his wife Princess Kiko (got that straight?). No word on what the cradle's valued at, although since it isn't for sale I guess it's more about admiring it's gaudy beauty than hoping to get one for yourself.

Smile Recliner

Filed under: Decor

I think I like this Smile recliner more just because it has such a cheerful name, plus the design brings to mind visions of breezy summer days relaxing in a hammock. Created by David Trubridge, the Smile recliner is made to rock (obviously) and is suitable for indoors or out. Although not probably something good to have around children (it looks a little too tempting to try and rock over), this looks perfect to me for an open or enclosed porch, preferably by the seashore (I wish!). A fitted futon cushion is optional, as is an oil finish.

Mod Rocker

Filed under: Decor

The Keinu Rocker isn't the only chair that updates the classic rocking chair, but it is probably one of the most modern in its use of materials in addition to updating the design to some degree. The Mod Rocker, on the other hand, uses a traditional material with an entirely new design. It is also kid-sized. The rocker is wide and low, made of bent plywood - from sustainably grown forests - with a maple veneer. It won Honorable Mention in 2006 I.D. Magazine's Annual Design Review and measures 16.25w x 22.25d x 18.75"h. Price: $320.

Keinu Rocker

by Nicole Weston (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Decor

You have to admit that rocking chairs have been around for a long time because they tend to be both comfortable and very relaxing. The staid image of a rocking chair is too dull for most modern tastes, however. The Keinu Rocker gives a somewhat futuristic twist to the classic design. The Finnish rocker, designed by Eero Aarnio, is made of leather and chrome-plated steel. It features an ergonomic seat and has a stopper halfway up the front blade in case you become a touch overenthusiastic about rocking. The only drawback is that it is only offered in yellow, while we think that white would look a bit more elegant. Price: $4,000.
