.....no MOTH doesn't feature here in full Air Guitar mode, so you can relax! Although during Sunday night's Idol episode, a certain un-named person did do a shockingly bad version of Mick doing Jumping Jack Flash when they thought I was out of the room!
Brigette and Robin Buchanan from Odd Limited have turned the humble garden swing into something quite extraordinary. These fully upholstered swinging sofas called Old Rockers, are hung on a frame made of stainless steel & beechwood. The roof and sides are covered in fabrics such as velvet, hopsack, voile, wool twill & canvas. Then you can layer & add accessories such as African Tribal Rugs, Moroccan Kilims, pom-poms, fringing, tassels & wooden ball finials until you can get just the look you want.
With fat upholstered rounded backs, fully padded arms & squishy feather down pillows, comfort is high on the design agenda here. Odd have developed an all-weather cotton canvas material that allows the Old Rocker to be left outside during Summer (although probably designed for temperate English summers, I'm not sure how they'd go in the searing Aussie Summer heat that sucks the air right out of your lungs!). Now which one would you like to Rock On with!
FADED GREEN Old Rocker with Maud velvet inside walls & 3 extra velvet cushions.
The same Old Rocker in a different light.
WHITE SAIL canvas Old Rocker with Rock loose covers & a selection of Llama wool scatter cushions .
FADED RED Old Rocker with Maud hopsack on the sofa cushions & inside walls. Stripe Dream hopsack and Maud hopsack fabric cover the extra feather cushions.
DREAM ON White Old Rocker with old french linen used on the bolsters & round feather extra cushions. African Tribal Rugs have been used for inside walls.
MAROC Old Rocker in Elephant canvas. The sofa, inside walls, gaiters & bolsters are covered in a soft woven kilim fabric. The fringe is handmade from old sari silk. Large faded old tassels, velvet cushions with pompoms & painted hardwood ball finials complete the story. 
FRENCH LINEN White Sail Canvas with old french linen used on the inside walls, with bolsters & round feather extra cushions & ball finials. An African Tribal Rug covers the back of the sofa.
THE CITY Old Rocker sofa in faded red canvas has Baby Elephant canvas roof and outside walls. Feather scatter cushions in Angus woven wool. Ball finials on the roof.
ROCK Old Rocker has white sail water and rot resistant canvas with Odd's Rock woven cotton fabric on all the cushions, inside walls, scatter cushions and spring gaiters. 
POOLSIDE Old Rocker in White Sail canvas with extra bolsters and round cushions, ball finials and woven Alpaca Rug.
And when Summer's over why not move the Old Rocker indoors and use it as a 'special' sofa? Odd can supply loose covers in velvets or hopsacks to change from canvas if that's what your Old Rocker came with originally. Add some extra feather filled cushions, string up some fairy lights and the Old Rocker will look fantastic for the winter months. With a fire blazing and fairy lights twinkling, it is the best place for hiding away with a book, although sensibly, fire retardant liner fabric is required when the Swing is used indoors
MAUD Old Rocker entirely in Maud velvet with Maud velvet pouffes. For indoor use.
