Eduardo Baroni of Brazil has a good eye for unique furniture that is great looking and in the case of these two rocking chairs, quite functional as well. The "Thinking Machine Chair" designed for Sintesi has a very informal look and invites us to relax in a rather kicked back version of the age old rocking chair. A smooth contoured plastic seat floats on a light metal structure that features a slightly bent base for a nice effortless rocking experience. The Zonza "rocking chaise" also from Barboni, and made by Moveis Schuster makes an entirely new statement from a piece that usually doesn't rock. Barboni's indoor / outdoor rocking chaise just received the IBAMA Movelsul award for the use of Brazilian jequitibá, an alternative wood. Eduardo Barboni goal is to create "new and exciting furniture designs that surprise by their freshness with simplicity, lightness, low cost and novelty".
Here is an interesting piece of vintage modern furniture from the 1950s. This is a lounge chair by Warren Platner. Lehigh Leopold was the manufacturer for this chair and at the time had a line of desks featuring other Planter pieces. The walnut sides create a great vintage look which complimented the line of office desks as you can imagine writing atop a desk of with this color wood. The Platner chair was finished with a chrome base and leather upholstery. In today's market, this lounge chair would be around $1,500.

As a blogger some times it can be hard to make up your ideas about what piece to do a story on. I was thinking that I would let you decide which piece is right for your home.

Often, accent furniture is harder to find since it is not "showcased" in furniture stores as much as larger pieces like sofas, sectionals, and bedroom sets. Hopefully, these images can give you some ideas about what may be a nice fit inside your home or apartment. Take a moment and comment to let us know about your favorite or if you like any of these at all. Via.

I really like a lounge chair called the "Slow Chair" as it conjures up thoughts of really relaxing and taking it easy. Designers Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec took a piece of modern technology and used an extremely strong, precisely knitted shaped fabric which is stretched over the metal frame like a fitted stocking to suspend the user in style. As you can imagine the conforming sling provides comfort and support which is further enhanced by thin seat and back cushion resulting in a design that is lightweight and generously proportioned. The Slow Chair is prefect for a living room setting, bedroom, or any where you desire to compliment your contemporary décor. Available Here
