Hand shaped with hand tools, this rocker is the culmination of 30 years of experimentation and refinement. Upon first seeing this chair many of my old customers have said something like "interesting, different design but, the arms..." Upon sitting they find the curved slope of the arms comfortable and appropriate. Named for the constellation. This chair is made from sycamore with Indian rosewood slats. Design 2007 "Nothing is as luscious as good rich black," my 9th grade art teacher, Miss Souther, explained. And nothing shows off the ebonized oak or madrone in an Elemental Rocker as well as African bubinga backslats and pegs.

When Mike Richter, the New York Rangers' All-Star goalie, had back problems a couple of years ago, he flew to Los Angeles to see a specialist. He also started spending more time in his handcrafted rocking chair, made by Robert Erickson, a woodworker in Nevada City, California.

"Cloudlift" is the name a critic gave the motif that Greene and Greene, architects from Pasadena, California, used in their arts and crafts era architecture and furniture. I've used this undulated, uplifted line that's faintly Chinese in form in several chairs and a table I designed for two clients in Tucson, Arizona. Curly oak and walnut. Chan rocker 
This chair sits like the Floating Back Rocking Chair, but is shaped with subtly different contours in the headboard and arms. The interplay of soft, rounded shapes with crisp hard lines or arrises is borrowed from the sculpture of Isamu Noguchi and adapted to furniture by Sam Maloof.
