# Recycled Rocking Chairs Sylvain Bienvenu's 'Sit & Rock' is a Fun Piece of Recycled Furniture By Michael Hines | Published 2010-05-11 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/recycled-rocking-chair References: [industrialdesignserved](http://www.industrialdesignserved.com/Gallery/Sit-_amp-Rock-/424244) & [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/Sloo_Bienvenu/Frame) The 'Sit & Rock' recycled rocking chair from Sylvain Bienvenu is all about responsible recycling. Why turn cardboard into more cardboard when you can turn it into a piece of furniture instead? I can see eco-grandmas 50 years from now sitting on the Sit & Rock recycled rocking chair on their solar-paneled porch. While Bienvenu's design isn't like a [traditional rocking chair](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ready-rocker-1), it still appears to get the job done seeing as how it rocks and you can sit on it.
