Troutman Chair Co.
1997-present

Boarding a flight from Boston to Toronto, I caught a glimpse of this rocking chair at the gate. Turns out that there are a number of these rocking chairs in several airports, but the idea originates from North Carolina's Charlotte Douglas International Airport and their 1997 photography exhibition titled Porchsitting. I like the reimagined environment through displacement of rocking chair.
