And how about durability as a flooring option? I mean .. What is the expectancy of its shine, gel layer and life in general? In a nutshell is it a viable option for living room floor? And if yes, then would its edges match or would it still be like tiles where edges don't quite match?

As Karthik has suggested above you have to use good quality anchor bolts as per the load specifications . If you want to be doubly sure use two anchor bolts so that the load is shared. You will need changes to the chain links for that. Thanks Nitin Cornerstone Designs Bangalore.

As Mr Raghu has commented, designer pieces (in whatever category) are not for ergonomics or practicality for normal use. This one is a famous design by a group of professors at the Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand to aid Autism. You will have to order a piece from New Zealand to be true to its purpose. Copying can be done by a skilled carpenter in India, no doubt, but would still be expensive and a fake. Expert from Inhabitat website: Cradle is a sustainable rocking chair created by a collaborative effort to aid people with autism and Rhythmic Movement Disorder (RMD). Developed within the Victoria University of Wellington, this cocoon-like seat is made from cold-bent plywood. Because rocking is one of the calming activities that is recommended for autistic folks, this special seat is a soothing and aesthetically pleasing addition to their homes.

Thanks Nitin. Only issue I can see with centre sofa is number of guests one can serve. With wall side L-shape sofa, we can extend the seating capacity by using dining chairs when there is any need. Anyway there is nothing like perfect thing and every design will have pros and cons.
