The new rocker has a walnut frame and is beautifully balanced and comfortable — I had a chance to try one recently and was surprised at how sturdy it is. Though the footprint is rather large at a little under 3' x 3', this is normal for any quality rocker.
The Risom Rocker is stocked in Tiger Lily and Lychee Maharam Milestone upholstery — but can be customized with DWR's new custom upholstery program. The Risom Rocker is $1,600 - $1,680 and exclusive to DWR.
If you're looking for a modern rocker at a lower price point, be sure to check out IKEA's new POANG rocker. Though it is still not online, I tried one last weekend at the Brooklyn IKEA and was really impressed with the comfort level and aesthetics! The POANG rocker is $179 at IKEA.

Love this rocker - adding it to my "I can dream" list.
bepsf, thanks for posting the link to eamesloft.com - they have some really great pieces, and totally reasonable prices. Does anyone know of a comparable shop in Chicago? Thanks!

karenenen--
Yes, he has great items and his prices are very reasonable - probably since he doesn't have a storefront. Like many others, he works out of his garage and sells via his website, eBay and Craigslist (which is how I found him)
I hope you find a similar resource in your area!

I am disturbed by the fact that the "step" in the back cushion doesn't match up with where the arms are - it looks like the cushions are from another seat - they don't do justice to the beautiful frame

We have a nice rocker that is priced inbetween those 2 rockers you mentioned. The monte Alto Rocker. Very comfortable and modern.
