A 3D-Printed Two-Person Alternating-Direction Rocking Chair
This inventive piece of furniture is by The New Raw, a Rotterdam-based design studio pushing the boundaries of robotic-arm 3D-printed furniture. Called the X Bench Swing, it's a two-person alternating-direction rocking chair.
"X Bench explores movement as a design principle. [It's] a sculptural object designed to enable flexibility and interaction in public space."
Founders and architects Panos Sakkas and Foteini Setaki printed it out of recycled polypropylene, which they say is "heavy-duty, long-lasting, 100% circular" and well-suited for both indoors or outdoors.
It's not clear if this is intended to be a saleable product, or just a design exploration.

First reaction is that this looks like good fun. My second thought is that the hollow spaces would be very attractive to cats, which then made me think about the classic cats and rocking chairs being incompatible. Not sure if this is cat friendly or not? Is it wrong that I think that the incongruity of this makes this design more awesome?
