Seesaws for One or for Two by Lanzavecchia + Wai

Design duo Lanzavecchia + Wai demonstrate through a complex process that child’s play can, in fact, be converted into refined objects for adults. Rocker n°1 & Rocker n°2 are a pair of seesaws, one of which seats one and the other seats two, that combine solid craftsmanship with one of childhood’s most recognizable icons.

The sculptural seat is outfitted with saddles so you can play “cowboy” and think back to memories of your childhood. When it’s time to come back to reality, the rockers can be turned into benches with the help of built-in stoppers.
