Three design students at India's MIT Institute of Design created this chair, which, simply and brilliantly, combines a rocking chair with a hammock. It sacrifices the hammocks swinging ability (overrated anyway, if you ask us), but makes up for it with the rocking ability, the woven seat, and the circular shape which provides a sort of hammock canopy. Overall, A+ chair.
