Body Raft

Jellyfish

Spun
|

|
|
Designed by: Thomas Heatherwick
Why we love it: Well, it’s not your standard back-and-forth rocket, but this spinning chair makes us feel like The Borrowers, sitting on a child’s spinning top.

Sway

Designed by: Markus Krauss
Why we love it: This rocker can be used in a number of ways, as a chair, a rocker for 1 or even as a rocker for 2 (so sweet). We love its versatility.
