Comfort Furniture: Rocking Chairs

Rocking chairs: a variety of shapes and materials
Rocking chairs are most often made of rattan, vine, wood, metal or plastic. Each of the materials has its advantages, disadvantages and specific style:
- Rattan - wicker furniture, which is distinguished by its sophistication and environmental friendliness, and is usually made by hand. Such rocking chairs are very light, practical and perfect for the interior of a country house, porch or conservatory.
Wicker chairs can be made in a wide variety of styles: from country to modern.

A rocking chair made of plastic fits perfectly into the interior in an ultra-modern style, for example, hi-tech or minimalism.

However, there are exceptions to all the rules: for example, a metal chair of an unusual shape, completely made of metal, can become the main accent of the interior in the avant-garde style.
