Rocking Swing by Clara Rivière & Tobias Nickerl

Clara Rivière and Tobias Nickerl took a look at both the rocking chair and the swing and cleverly combined the two into one, fun design – the Rocking Swing. The goal? To bring the childhood pleasure of swinging, together with the stereotypical grandparent rocking chair, and creating intergenerational fun.

The hybrid swing/rocking chair performs double movements – you can rock, you can swing, or you can do them both at the same time.
