About the Designer
Lisa Albin United States

Lisa Albin has worked in architecture, interiors and set design in New York since 1992, with projects ranging from private residences to feature film production design. Albin received her B.F.A. and B.Arch. from The Rhode Island School of Design and has taught at Parsons School of Design and guest-lectured at Columbia University, School of Visual Arts and The Cooper-Hewitt Museum's after-school program. Inspired by her first daughter and after a seminar at the Haystack Mt. School of Crafts in Maine, Albin launched Iglooplay in 2005.

Research shows that kids fidget in stationary chairs. The Mod Rocker from Iglooplay invites your child to play, read or mellow out with a gentle rocking motion and a relaxing, low-to-the-ground design. The rocking chair provides a personal space just for kids with a "secret” nook below to store toys, stuffed animals and treasures. Inspired by African stools that cup the body, this kids' rocking chair is an achievement in scale organic form, material variation and color, making it an aesthetic addition to any room in the home.
