apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

At first glance, this is one freaky-looking chair. The metal coupled with the red makes it almost look indecent. After a while, you start to catch on about what's happening. The Ruby Rocking chair was designed by Pouyan Mokhtarani, who's originally from Iran. A lot of thought went into his design. The bottom cushions for you bum are designed to stop sweating. They are also filled with liquid, as are all of the cushions on this thing. You can also rock the thing by using a clutch, which is placed next to your hand. It's an automatic rocking chair, so it will continue rocking you a long time, probably you'll get tired of it before it does.

Even though this chair is a bit strange looking, I'm sure that some of these concepts are really well thought and that they would make rocking chairs useful. Mokhtarani says that he was inspired by the human body when he created this design. That actually makes sense. [via various, photos by Pouyan Mokhtarani]
