Modern Rocking Chairs – How Have They Changed?

Living room chairs, including rocking chairs, have changed over time. Initially, they were supposed to refer to children's cradles and swings. The first models appeared in 18th-century England, quickly gaining popularity. In the 19th century, carpenter Michael Thonet (a German-Austrian pioneer in the field of large-scale furniture production) patented a method of hot bending wooden elements (in this case, poles). Rocking chairs also became fashionable overseas. Supposedly, every president of the United States has his favorite model.

Nowadays, rocking chairs take on fancy shapes, and ultra-strong plastics are also used in their production. Designer models on runners are very popular. The seat and backrest are covered entirely with a soft material resistant to mechanical damage, and the flexible foam perfectly adapts to the shape of the body. Some of them have an adjustable footrest, as well as a removable cover, thanks to which you can effectively remove any dirt from the upholstery.
