The 'Sit & Rock' recycled rocking chair from Sylvain Bienvenu is all about responsible recycling. Why turn cardboard into more cardboard when you can turn it into a piece of furniture instead?
I can see eco-grandmas 50 years from now sitting on the Sit & Rock recycled rocking chair on their solar-paneled porch. While Bienvenu's design isn't like a traditional rocking chair, it still appears to get the job done seeing as how it rocks and you can sit on it.
