The Abraham Rocking Chair forgoes a reliance on the past by introducing a rather futuristic aesthetic. Of course, it could be likened to a cocooned traditional rocker, one that has been left in an attic for far too long. Yet the sleek lines and X-shaped motif is hard to ignore. It could easily be a piece of furniture made for Professor Xavier of the X-Men.
Designed by Authentics, a design company based in Germany, the Abraham Rocking Chair is not made out of wood, but a steel frame that has been completely covered in a durable and flexible material. This material not only gives it a modern appearance, but also a heightened level of physical comfort.
