A glider or platform rocker is a type of rocking chair
that moves as a swing seat.
The entire frame consists of a seat attached to the base
by means of a double-rocker four-bar linkage.
The non-parallel suspension arms of the linkage cause the chair
to simulate a rocking-chair motion as it swings back and forth.
The glider is owned today by Nadav and Reut Benjo.
