The playful design of the Fast Rocking chair by Instagram user Muddycap draws into an optical illusion. This illusion forces you to believe that the chair is moving even when it is not. It appears to be in a continuous motion due to its jagged edges and curved lines that are responsible for this hallucinating effect. The Fast Rocking chair has a dynamic motion blur design that exhibits an intriguing element.
We have seen such illusions before, but to see it in a chair in a functional manner is something else entirely. Even though the design has a playful energy, it is as functional as it is unprecedented. It is a utilitarian and useful modern art piece that defies the rules of traditional chair designs most unpragmatically.
The chair with its peculiar design sets a striking visual tone and creates a seamlessly tangible element that is interesting and capable of becoming an attention-grabbing structural piece. It is made from maple wood and features a painted structure to conceal the wood grain, which might give away the illusion.
Although it looks uncomfortable due to its jarred form, it is a functional chair to sit on. Crafted with different wood pieces cut with a mechanical saw to create a unique shape and held together by traditional joineries, the chair looks like a fast-moving cartoon.
The jagged design of the sides does not continue to the seat and armrests, which are smooth to provide comfort, while the backrest is slightly ridged. The unusual foreplay of the design and structure of the Fast Rocking chair combines traditional essence with modern functionality and artistic capabilities.
It serves as a functioning piece of furniture that gives you a rocking seating experience and as an innovative sculptural piece. Even though it may not be a sound addition to every living space, it does provide a quirky artistic sensibility to a contemporary home and it is rather fascinating to look at.
