# Side-Stacked Seating The Mamulengo Rocking Chair's Layered Skeleton Feels Good on the Spine By Amelia Roblin | Published 2013-10-11 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mamulengo-rocking-chair References: [mocoloco](http://mocoloco.com/archives/029305.php) & [eduardobaroni](http://eduardobaroni.com/wordpress/) Considering that there are no cushions on the Mamulengo Rocking Chair and that its composition is based on spaced slats, this piece of furniture is remarkably comfortable. How do I know? It was modeled on [ergonomic data](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/autonomous-ergochair-ultra-2). Eduardo Baroni collected this information and used it to design the oscillating seat on the computer in preparation for its [CNC](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soundlink-plus)-milled manufacturing. The perfect curvatures were formed when the swaying seat was put together, providing a [smooth transition from the backrest](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/breck-chair) to the bench, to the edge beneath your knees. As they move away from the middle, several of the plywood panels have been cut to gradually form armrests, creating remarkably even contours, considering the visibly fragmented assembly. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.8/10 - Popularity: 75% | Activity: 62% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Ergonomic Design:** Exploring new ways to create furniture that is not only visually appealing but also comfortable and supportive, using ergonomic data and design principles. - **Layered Skeleton:** Experimenting with furniture designs that utilize layered or stacked structures to create unique and functional pieces. - **CNC Manufacturing:** Leveraging CNC milling technology to create precise and customized furniture pieces with complex designs and structures. ### Where This Applies - **Furniture Manufacturing:** Opportunities for furniture manufacturers to incorporate ergonomic design principles and innovative manufacturing techniques to create comfortable and visually appealing products. - **Interior Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunities in interior design, exploring the use of layered furniture designs and ergonomic principles to enhance the functionality and aesthetics of living spaces. - **Woodworking:** Exploring new possibilities in woodworking by utilizing CNC milling technology to create intricate and precisely layered furniture designs. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Geometric Rocking Chair Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oval-rocking-chair.md) - [Anatomical Lounge Seating](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/himalaya-pelvis-chair.md) - [Fabric-Wrapped Rocking Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zhe-rocking-chair.md) - [Soothing Boat-Like Lounge Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/canoa-chair.md) - [Modernized Rocking Chair Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nodding-chair.md) - [Ergonomic Versatile Wooden Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ergonomic-chair-1.md) - [Plywood Sculptural Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mt-chair.md) - [Wooden Lounge Rocking Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nice-chair.md) - [Structurally Complex Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-arch-chair.md)
