Reading Week

We have be given this Remake-Reinvent project for the week, and I must say... I'm finding it hard to think of what my rocking chair can become. I feel it will come to me once it no longer looks like a rocking chair but at the moment it is hard to see it as anything but.
I have researched all of the following artist in hopes of gaining some kind of inspiration:

Nacho Carbonell-
*"I like to see objects as living organisms, imaging them coming alive and being able to surprise you with their behavior. I want to create objects with my hands, then I can give them my personality. I turn them into communicative objects that can arouse one's sensations and imagination. In short, what I want to create are objects with a fictional or fantasy element, that allows you to escape everyday life."
