I just came accross this company - 
And I liked not only the design of their products, but also their philosophy:
This rocking chair will appeal to a child's interest in movement as well as scale, organic form, material variation and color. The form and material invite kids to play, read or simply relax. As research indicates that children often fidget in stationary chairs, the rocker's design provides a personal space rather than just a mere chair. The chair gives an easy rock to mellow children, provides comfort while reading or playing and the space below is a secret nook to store stuffed animals.Inspired by African stools that cup the body, the Mod Rocker's form is wide and low to the ground. Its sculptural shape is an aesthetic addition to any room in the home.
Mod Rocker & Mod Pad
Mod Topper: Conceived to complement the Mod Rocker, this tray/table can be used on its own or as a stool. When grouped together, the table and chair play on material variation, solid and open, sculptural and straight, movement and calm and function and form. The design grew from a fascination with the airplane tray: how intriguing it is to be gently moving while having a personal-size table of one's own! Older children can use the Topper as a bedside. This stackable, multi-use piece can be used for reading, drawing, snacking or sitting.
This Lima Table With Coasters combines comfort with aesthetics for a table that reflects the way children often sit… on the floor! The ergonomic shape of the table encourages a sense of independence with a sense of place; the small table is just right for one child or try the larger table for art projects, a group of children or family gatherings.The height is designed to comfortably accommodate children's legs in straight, on-knees or crossed-legged positions. The ply top with painted coasters make it a fun surface for eating, drawing, painting… and tea parties!Available in your choice of size.

And I liked not only the design of their products, but also their philosophy:
a harmony between modern comforts and being a good global citizen. ... cleaner, less cluttered and healthier ways to live. A
lifestyle that supports modern products that are designed well and business
practices grounded in responsibility.
And they offer great eco-friendly and stylish products for children and babies:
