Recycled Rocking Chairs

The Racer Rocking Chair is a Modern Twist on a Classic Design

— February 7, 2018 — Eco
Designer Eric Pfeiffer with company Loll created the Racer Rocking Chair, a modern take on the classic chair. Made from 100% recycled plastic, this outdoor char is a low-sitting, minimalist seating option that is perfect for any outdoor patio.

The designer aims to recover the rocking motion that was loved for centuries with a modern and eco-friendly twist. The edgy design features multiple colorways that are inspired by vintage race cars with a sporty stripe including gray, green, white, black, blue, pink and green. With a wide and low seat, the chair was created to conform to the body to provide maximum comfort. The Racer Rocking Chair includes an open storage trunk in the back for outdoor accessories.
