I’m not sure how this would work: if the Wishbone Rocking Chair could be torn apart, then it would grant you your wish, but if it did, then it would be a less than adequate chair, right? Ok, perhaps I’m taking this a little too literal, but I do take my wishbones seriously. You know that I’m the first one to grab it on turkey days.
Designed by Toby Howes, the Wishbone Rocking Chair began as a couple of pipe-cleaners. With a two-toned finish, it brings attention to the chair’s unusual silhouette.
