dhara kabaria of india-based design studio allternatives has sent us images of her ‘swinging chairs’ project.

this slow swing chair, made from bamboo, steel flat bar and 12 nut-bolts, is designed to be used on a verandah. its swinging properties come from its curved frame and cantilevered construction. alternatively, the form can be reversed and used as a low seating chair.
