"BUY THIS NOW. AMY PRINCE ON THE THINGS YOU CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT"

SWING FEVER. With plenty of legroom for the canoodling rituals of spring (seven feet, in fact). The Viking can just as easily sway on a lazy veranda in King William as it can swoon in a contemporary Deep Ellum loft. Booster seats, La-Z-Boys, and rocking chairs have all recently received some design-world TLC, so a porch swing with sex appeal couldn't have been far behind. A collaboration between two Austinites - interior and product designer Marla Henderson and artisan Mark Macek - the white-oak rocker's allure comes from its embrace, made possible by Macek's delicate woodworking. The shape is completely modern, but the swing still conjures a wholesome to-and-fro and innocent ankle-locking. $3,525. Custom finishes and cushions available. Marla Henderson Design Group.
