The Mod Rocker will appeal to a child's innate interest in movement as well as scale, organic form, material variation and color. The form and material invite kids to play, read or simply relax. As research indicates that designating a space for alone time is an important tool in developing independent reading, the rocker is as much a personal space as a special chair. The design gives an easy rock to mellow children, provides comfort while reading or playing and the space below is a secret nook to store stuffed animals. Inspired by African stools that cup the body, the Mod Rocker's form is wide and low to the ground. Its sculptural shape is an aesthetic addition to any room in the home. The weight capacity exceeds 450 lbs. We also offer Mod Pads with a non-skid rubber underside for comfort and a shot of color.
