The whimsical Swing Chair by Antonio Arico brings a dynamism into the domestic environment in a way that is rarely seen. The vast majority of furnishings are designed to sit fixedly in their assigned positions, with Lay-Z-Boys being perhaps the most dynamic pieces.
What's particularly wonderful about this suspended seat is that it introduces the experiences of freedom and playfulness that are generally found through the use of tire swings and swaying porch benches. To sit down in this marvelously marionette-like movable is to be reminded of the delights of the imagination and the pleasures of the simple things in life.
The sculpted wooden Swing Chair by Antonio Aricò seems to hug its sitter with its embracing supportive arms. It's been crafted so to accommodate adults.
