It is a special [kit that turns existing static seats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ensven-modular-bed-rocker) into rocking chairs. Essentially, the Rocker by OOOMS comes with a [curved wooden attachment](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nstel-the-chair) that secures to the bottom of the chair's four legs. Once attached, a rocking chair is suddenly born. As simple as that, it is made out of plywood and steel. A universal contraption, the Rocker by OOOMS can be more relaxed or active depending on the situation. The Rocker by OOOMS was created for a Designboom contest. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.6/10 - Popularity: 41% | Activity: 29% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: 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 ### What's Driving This Trend - **Chair-converting Kits:** The trend of chair-converting kits allows for the transformation of static seats into motion-filled furniture, providing a convenient and space-saving solution. - **Rocking Chair Revival:** The popularity of rocking chairs is experiencing a revival with innovative products like the Rocker by OOOMS that offer a modern twist on a classic piece of furniture. - **Modular Furniture Accessories:** The emergence of modular furniture accessories, such as the Rocker by OOOMS, enables users to customize and adapt their existing furniture for different uses and functionalities. ### Who This Affects Most - **Furniture Design:** The furniture design industry can tap into the trend of chair-converting kits by creating innovative and versatile products that offer consumers flexibility and space-saving solutions. - **Interior Design:** With the rocking chair revival trend, interior designers can incorporate contemporary rocking chairs like the Rocker by OOOMS into their designs, adding a touch of nostalgia and functionality to spaces. - **Home Decor:** The modular furniture accessories trend presents an opportunity for the home decor industry to offer unique and customizable solutions that enhance the versatility and style of existing furniture pieces. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Wooden Lounge Rocking Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nice-chair.md) - [Rocking Outdoor Chair Attachments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rocking-feet.md) - [Dynamic Movement Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wobbl-rocking-chair.md) - [Functional Decorative Rocking Stools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rool-stool.md) - [Geometric Rocking Chair Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oval-rocking-chair.md) - [Motion Blur-Inspired Rocking Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fast-rocking-chair.md) - [Rocking Table-Mounted Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/espattio-platero-rocking-table.md) - [Contemporary Rocking Pouffe Stools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/platero.md) - [All-Direction Wobbling Rocking Chair](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wobbling-rocking-chair.md)
