One of my favorite childhood memories is immediately getting on a rocking chair/horse/stool whenever I see one and just rocking like crazy until I get dizzy. But of course as you grow older, it becomes frowned upon when a fully grown adult tries to ride one, especially if it’s built for kids (and you might damage it). But who says we can’t or shouldn’t enjoy one that’s specifically built for grown ups?

Platero is a rocking pouffe that is created specifically for people in the office that are bored sitting on regular chairs and need a break from their mundane routine. It’s a stool with a curved base that lets you rock it back and forth and change positions if you need some sort of motion as you rest for a while or even when you’re doing actually work but need a more creative work environment.
It also has a side table in front so you can place your laptop, tablet, notebook, book, or any tool that you want to use as you rock back and forth. So that probably rules out coffee or food as it might spill or fall off the chair as you sway it around. It also has an ergonomic design so you probably feel comfortable when sitting on it, or as comfortable as you can get on a stool. At least there’s a back rest part so it’s better than most stools that just have a seating part.
It comes in different finishes but the side table part is mostly wooden. If you suffer from motion sickness though, this stool may not be the best option for you to relax in the middle of work. Well, unless you use it to practice getting used to moving around.
