Bean Rockers
Date: July 7, 2008 | Category: Home Furnishings, The Home
I like to keep it low, so I was intrigued when the crew over at Low Impact Living alerted us to Knoend’s Bean Rocker series. The comfy floor rockers are designed to support posture and breathing - and because they are manufactured with all eco-friendly materials, you can breath even easier. Using FSC-certified maple plywood, natural latex and hemp or organic cotton cushions, Knoend assures us absolutely nothing toxic (adhesives, dyes, finishes, etc) made it into this series. Though we may not be running out to get a low-lying conference table, we know some kids who will love rocking out to the new BBC Natural History Collection of DVDs in one of these bean-inspired seats. Plus, they’ll be ergonomically supported; just like a medicine ball, only far cuter (and without PVC!).
