Spooning, snuggling, cuddling and curling up with a cuppa are what these cold winter months are all about. When it’s cold outside and warm inside it’s important to incorporate a bit of quality hibernation time into your day. Well, we just so happen to have found the perfect piece of furniture for all your vegetating needs - whatever the season - and it’s as fabulous to look at as it is comfortable.

Staying in is the new going out: spooning, snuggling and curling up with a cuppa are what these cold winter months are all about…

The Hamburg-based designer Markus Krauss is the man responsible for giving the rocking chair this sleek new makeover - and he’s embraced versatility as part of the design. The Sway Rocking Chair is made up of an upholstered seat housed on a steel frame, which either rocks on a curved base or locks into place. Here’s the science bit; a telescopic rod can be extended to fix the seat into an upright position, for those who are simply not in the mood to rock.

Thanks to its chic neutral colouring, this marvellous piece of snuggle-kit would look equally at home in a Norwegian-themed log cabin as it would in a minimalist urban loft. But the finest feature of this rarified rocker is the fact that it can comfortably accommodate two. Just the job for those who prefer to snuggle ‘a deux’.

As you might expect, Markus Krauss designs items that are reassuringly expensive. However, given the Sway Rocking Chair’s generous proportions it would be reasonable to split the cost with your spooning-buddy of choice…
