A number of studies have found the act of rocking releases endorphins in the body that produce a calming and relaxing effect. Netherlands company Montis created contemporary rocking chair Dim Sum. The relaxation provided by the rhythm of rocking also improves the ability to focus and concentrate. Aside from these benefits, there are few other products that evoke such a domestic feel. The inclusion of wood in the design, wich refers to the traditional notion of a rocking chair, helps to domesticise the feel of the piece. The tagline of this design is “relax with a smile”. And this is true. Take a look!
