The Moccar by Leif Design Park is a sleek and utilitarian outdoor lounger that can be converted into a rocker. Leif Design Park is the Japan-based design team of Takashi Ueno, Mamoru Naito and Keizaburo Honda. The Moccar consists of a lightweight metal frame with sturdy latticed rope similar to a hammock.
The slightly bow-shaped lounger allows for maximum reclined comfort and includes a head rest. Gently rock yourself from side to side while the Moccar by Leif Design Park rests on a two-wheeled platform. The platform can be easily removed and can also serve as a foot rest, extra seating or side table.
