Dark green linen, armrests, a rubber wood frame that rocks: the Taru Linen Rocking Armchair belongs in a bedroom corner rather than the middle of a room. The green is a deep one and it moves with the light, so judge it where it will actually stand rather than on a screen.

The seat is 45cm off the floor, measured with nobody in it. On most chairs that figure is about getting back out; here it decides whether the chair rocks at all, because your feet are the motor. Measure yourself floor to the underside of the knee: past that and you drive it from a flat foot; short of it and the chair moves only when somebody else pushes it.

If your legs come up short of that figure, the answer is not another rocker but the Luva Velvet Swivel Armchair - Cream, which turns on its base instead.
