The Modern Rocking Horse

Hi-Ho Rocking Horse, $875 USD at Design Within Reach

Made by Jarred Lim, the Hi-Ho rocking horse “reinterprets the traditional rocking horse with the idea that it can be viewed as a modern sculpture, capable of fitting into even the most sophisticated interior.

Says designer Lim: “The simple elements create a mature, timeless design that is fun without appearing childish.”

Trimmed with sheepskin from New Zealand that can be removed for cleaning, the Hi-Ho’s innards are made of recycled foam. Smart, stylish and fun- having little ones around doesn’t mean you have to compromise on design.

A Room for Two

With two little (yet growing) boys, my sister seems to be constantly thinking about the design of their bedroom (which also means that I am thinking about their bedroom!). I love these clean poster beds and the striking letters on the wall. The colour scheme is soothing and the linens look so soft. Thoughts?

In the Nursery: A Magical Crib

| Leave a Reply

Lately all the baby-related photos I have come across all have an element of fantasy and fairy tale. Last month I posted about this castle bunk-bed and today I bring you Petit Tresor’s carriage crib. With a price tag of $15 000 perhaps it is best reserved for royalty?
