Here is another one of those dual functioning home pieces. This is the Motion Bookshelf which can at the same time be used as well as a rocking chair of sorts. The bookshelf should be perfect for the bookworms or people who want to spend a large part of their time reading to relax.

The Motion was designed by Hyunjin Seo. Overall, the Motion is a curvaceous multi-tasking bookcase that also serves as a literary lounge chair. The bookshelf should be a wise option when it comes to properly storing your books and saving you some space as well since you don’t have to worry about placing separate chairs in the area.

Given its generous proportions, the chair can also act as a comfy daybed and is perfect to curl up with a good book and a glass of wine.

Though these rocking chairs seem to be made for the kids or the people who are lightweight in nature, they are also designed rockers intended to raise money for children’s art education. Redesigning classic creative mid-century seating can demonstrate how the artistic possibilities have no limit.

The initiative was taken by the Contemporary Art Center of Virginia where a molded plastic cover was used as a blank canvas after which painters were given the freehand to paint, cut and paste anything to produce an artistic celebration.

PRC stands for the Personal Rockin’ Computer but if you look at this device, it looks like a hanging chair which comes out the pages of any space fantasy flick. While it looks like a hanging rocking chair, the concept seems to also push it as being a hanging table which can hold your PC. Either that or the concept of this furniture is totally whacked out!

The price for this PRC is $4,200. Rocking chair or a desktop aid, the item seems to be geared more towards the modern homes who have lots of cash to spare.

With the Private Cloud, you can virtually rock yourself to sleep. Now for the conservative sleeper, it may not be feasible considering you may have trouble finding the right stagnant position owing to its design.

But for the people who have trouble sleeping, it can be a great way to lull yourself to sleep. Similar to rocking a crib for babies to sleep, adults may find it as an oversized crib to get sleepy in a hurry.

The Private Cloud, designed by Manuel Kloker, is a patented rocking frame for a bed that moves back and forth like a rocking chair. It sells for an average of about $6,800 depending on the size ordered, without the mattress.

Newly weds and couple who are planning to raise a family do not have to wait until little tykes are expected to be on the way. Apparently, many people today are making advanced preparations, leaving provisions for nurseries to avoid the hassles of addressing them once the new member of the family is on the way.

To some, it would be a waste of time to plan ahead. But do remember, designing a nursery is also quite harassing if you are doing it within the months of expecting your first born.

Nurseries are not simple to conceptualize. Cribs and toys are not everything. Color themes and baby furniture as well as the usual baby cabinets are included and not to mention the issue of proper spacing. In all, it is a bit similar to organizing a standard room with the only thing to be inserted is the fact that infants would be the ones who would frequent the room.

“When we moved into our house, I knew exactly where I wanted the nursery,” Kaye Popofsky Kramer of Laurel Canyon says of her room with an alcove by the window — “perfect for a rocking chair.”

“It was never the guest room or a storage room,” she says. “I just wanted it waiting for a child.”

Making Advanced Preparations for Nursery Provisions

Here’s a really cool fabric-over-frame rocking chair that’d be perfect for complementing your toddler/infant rocking.

Abraham is a rocking chair that delivers the ultimate in comfort. The idea was to create a piece of relaxing furniture that would look as good as it feels – a rocking chair with flowing lines and an inherent sense of harmony. To achieve this, designer Patrick Frey covered a contoured tubular steel frame with stretch fabric.
