Bean Rockers
Year: 2008

Winner of the 2009 iF Product Design Award

The Bean Rocker series is an exploration in dynamic and flexible ways of inhabiting our spaces. The lightweight design of the bean rockers makes them easy to move, store, and use in a variety of applications. The rocking seats are adaptable to many body types and shapes with four
different models.

There have been various medical studies that have shown that sitting too long in the same position can lead to adverse health effects. The bean rockers encourage shifting of posture and positions to help alleviate the stresses on the body caused by stagnancy in seating. The ergonomic design and rocking ability help people of all sizes and ages sit in a healthier, interactive way. They are meant to encourage ease of breating, flexibility in seating, and a sense of balance. They can be used as meditation seats, aids for stretching and exercising, or for any low seating application in your home.

The bean rockers were introduced at the International Contemporary Furniture Fair in May 2008. The chairs were a hit and labeled as a trend-setter in the NYTimes coverage of the show. Many show-goers at ICFF thought the bean rockers were for children as their size was relatively small when compared to other chairs present at the show - however, once seated, most everyone noted that the comfort and ease was apparent for adults as well
as kids.

The bean rockers come flat-packed or assembled (for a fee).

Materials: FSC certified maple plywood finished with natural linseed oil, standard steel hardware, and each comes with a padded organic cotton cushion. Colors of textiles depend upon availability.

Chair is made in San Francisco CA, Cushion is made in India.
