The "Rocking Chair" ... But Not As You Know It

Furniture for public spaces is always a challenge. There is a need to appear to be a natural addition as well as standing out. Rainer Mutsch's Rocking Chair seems to meet both.

The chairs are made out of hollow rotomoulded plastic and come in a variety of colours.

According to Rainer: "The concept of the Rocking Chair is the artificial, technical interpretation of natural rock formations. The chair reduces important ergonomic sections to a polygonal structure, thereby minimizing material and weight. The concept was to analyse the ergonomically important zones of a chair, reducing them to the very essential ones and to substitute them eventually with exact, plane surfaces and triangles."
