rockingplatformDZ1.jpgDesigner Constantinos Economides designed these rocking platforms chairs which we discovered online. Part art, part statement, they are the ultimate in recycling. The rockers are created by fastening found items (chairs, cribs) onto curved platforms.

Economides recently completed his MA in industrial design and writes, "The rocking platforms offer salvation to a discarded chair’s life by re-using it, but also anew relationship with its user. The dawn of this relationship is also enhanced by the new experience the rocking platform has to offer."
