Here are some words about this design that we found on the official site of this project:

“Tamago  is a new line of 100% recyclable children’s play furniture. Tamago’s innovative design provides young minds with an environment conducive to learning and self-expression. While soft rounded edges, nontoxic construction, lightweight and ergonomic design cradles the child in comfort and safety. Available in several colors Tamago’s blank canvas encourages the use of pencils, crayons or paint. Creativity will know no bounds as children personalize thei r Tamago. Parents will enjoy Tamago’s versatility, affordability and low environmental impact.”

Fluid Rocker, The Way to Relax

fluid_rocker_01

Feel free to slip into sweet meditation with these comfortable and colorful rockers.

And because no one can describe the Fluid Rocker better than the designer himself, here is a statement from Nick Trincia:

“My entry for the RELAX Design Competition is one of the most relaxing of all pieces of furniture, a rocking chair. The Fluid Rocker’s soft curves and ergonomic form make it as inviting to look at as it is to sit in. The chair’s flowing organic shape is achieved through a one piece fiber glass construction with a high-gloss finish. For added comfort and texture, a layer of soft natural felt wraps over the entire outer face of the chair. On the upper side of the chair, the felt provides added cushion for sitting, while on the underside of the chair it provides for quieter, softer rocking, and protection for your floors.”
