Superbowl

Designed by: Staffan Holm

Rocky

Designed by: Marc Newson for Magis

Why we love it: Good design for children is sadly hard to come by, so it’s great to see this simple, cost-effective rocking horse featuring at Milan this year. With a gentle rocking motion and classic equine inspiration, childhood nostalgia is unavoidable.
