I am a big fan of living hinges. Since Week 1 of making some cardboard version of living hinges. Inspired by the living hinge version of the rocking lounge chair, I designed a simplified version using the cost-effective OSB material. Because Anthony reminded me that the OSB finishing does not have the density and strength to support living hinges.

I really like the shape of this rocking lounge chair, I used the arc tool in Fusion 360 to replicate the rough structure of the shape by keeping four connecting points have tangent curvatures, as shown below.
