Vintage Modern Issue

The breadth and scope of Habitus has always been extraordinary. With how we live at heart of every issue, we have stepped it up with Guest Editor David Flack of Flack Studio shaking the ‘how’ and looking at new ways to make a house a home. With Vintage Modern as the issues theme, we look at the way iconic design has stayed with us, how daring pieces from the past can add the wow factor and how architecture and good design defy the pigeon hole of their era.

Habitus Loves… Rocking Horses

We thought we’d get a little playful this week with 8 of our favourite rocking horses for kids and big kids.


 

Rocking Squares

 

 
Designed by:
Frederick Roijé

Why we love it: We love that this uses abstract forms to represent a common and unmistakable iconic child’s play thing – but like so many modern rocking horses, it’s adult-sized.

Where you can get it:

Roijé

Dodo

title 

 

 Designed by: Oiva Toikka for Magis

Why we love it: This is a fun take on the traditional rocking horse; turning it into a caricature of the extinct dodo and in heaps of great colours.

Where you can get it:

Corporate Culture

Rocker

title 

 

 Designed by: Doshi Levien for Richard Lampert

Why we love it: Although we can only show you the rendered drawings, this rocker by Doshi Levien is a perfect example of form meets function. Perfectly formed, beautiful materials, elegant fun.

Where you can get it:

Richard Lampert


Harry Rocking Stool

title 

 
Designed by:
Kenneth Cobonpue

Why we love it: This shaggy little creature offers a playful aesthetic. Its fabric strips are sewn to a removable cover – practical and fun.

Where you can get it:

KE-ZU

Hut Hut

title 

 

 Designed by: Kalon

Why we love it: Apart from being a beautiful piece of sculpture, this little rocker comes in a range of materials and colours, from bamboo to cork and red and blue resin. Something for every home and every child.

Where you can get it:

Kalon Studios

HiHo

title 


 Designed by: Jarrod Lim

Why we love it: You may not be able to tell from the picture, but these rocking horses (or is it a sheep?) are adult-sized and so much fun! Gorgeously fluffy.

Where you can get it:

Innermost

Giulia

title 

 

 Designed by:Pininfarina

Why we love it: This children’s rocking horse is made from a single solid piece of wood, crafted with comfortable curves and featuring a leather-covered handle bar. Love its simplicity and its raw beauty.

Where you can get it:

Bonluxat

Reggie the Ecorocker

 Designed by:Ecorocker

Why we love it: This one has an obvious environmental appeal, made from 100% recycled cardboard, but it’s also an elegant take on a classic design.

Where you can get it:

Eco Rocker
