Old Rockers

.....no MOTH doesn't feature here in full Air Guitar mode, so you can relax! Although during Sunday night's Idol episode, a certain un-named person did do a shockingly bad version of Mick doing Jumping Jack Flash when they thought I was out of the room!

Brigette and Robin Buchanan from Odd Limited have turned the humble garden swing into something quite extraordinary. These fully upholstered swinging sofas called Old Rockers, are hung on a frame made of stainless steel & beechwood. The roof and sides are covered in fabrics such as velvet, hopsack, voile, wool twill & canvas. Then you can layer & add accessories such as African Tribal Rugs, Moroccan Kilims, pom-poms, fringing, tassels & wooden ball finials until you can get just the look you want.

With fat upholstered rounded backs, fully padded arms & squishy feather down pillows, comfort is high on the design agenda here. Odd have developed an all-weather cotton canvas material that allows the Old Rocker to be left outside during Summer (although probably designed for temperate English summers, I'm not sure how they'd go in the searing Aussie Summer heat that sucks the air right out of your lungs!). Now which one would you like to Rock On with!

And when Summer's over why not move the Old Rocker indoors and use it as a 'special' sofa? Odd can supply loose covers in velvets or hopsacks to change from canvas if that's what your Old Rocker came with originally. Add some extra feather filled cushions, string up some fairy lights and the Old Rocker will look fantastic for the winter months. With a fire blazing and fairy lights twinkling, it is the best place for hiding away with a book, although sensibly, fire retardant liner fabric is required when the Swing is used indoors
