Stingray mid-century-inspired rocking chair

A modern piece, but the Stingray rocking chair, designed by Thomas Pedersen, owes a considerable debt to the classic mid-century designs of Charles & Ray Eames.

No prizes for guessing how it got its name - the curves producing a seat shaped not unlike the fish of the same name. And if the legs look familiar, that's because they're not a million miles from the ones on the Eames rocker. Still, it's a winning combination, picking up the Interior Innovation Award at this year's Cologne show.

And now you can buy one online. It's available in oak, walnut and the African wood makassar, priced at £1,760.
