Take a step into the past with the -Re- rocking chair by Clement Diaz.

The French Designer has inspiration from the functional aesthetic of the Industrial style of the 1920s, 30s and 40s. This chair is sleek and metallic with graceful curves and sharp edges. The minimalist design of chair means there are no embellishments or added flares to make the item stand. The beauty of the chair comes instead from its elegant simplicity. It is both utilitarian and an attractive, a functional showpiece of sorts.

Home design has come a long way, and gone in a different direction from ascetic necessity and usefulness of [classic industrial furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tugendhat-chair), but the -Re- rocking chair shows that there is modern style and flare to be found in the past.
