10 Feb Rocking Chairs of the Modern Era

Rocking chairs have long been associated with the elderly. Images of a sweet grandmother rocking backwards and forwards while knitting are often evoked. However, modern designers have reinvented rocking chairs to bring them into the modern age of interior design. While the rocking chair of nursing homes and elderly porches will always hold a special place for us, we have no reason to stop enjoying rocking in more modern fashion.
