The Stingray Rocker by designer Thomas Pederson is one of few new century modern chairs that deserves comparison to the classics of the 1900s. While its inspiration is clear– some Eames and some Bertoia, the Stingray Rocker is a decidedly progressive breath of fresh air for a genre that has cooled over recent decades. The Stingray is available in a black plastic version or a range of veneers, with an optional leather or felt upholstry. Add a pair of these to your modern living room, you’ve got yourself a healthy dose of cool ripe for the sitting. [fredericia via notcot]
