The Magis Rocky is a modernized rocking horse for children -- although it wouldn't be surprising if adults will want to take a turn on it as well. Sleek and minimal, it nevertheless maintains a playful aesthetic as well as a true representation of a horse (especially the brown version). Complete with a gold rope to imaginatively reign in the steed as well as a carved saddle and sculptural horsetail, the Magis Rocky is a welcomed addition to any playroom.
Created by Australian designer Marc Newson, the Magis Rocky is loosely based on medieval jousting horses. Made out of rotationally molded polyethylene chosen for its durability and recyclability, the Magis Rocky will be able to withstand even the most enthusiastic horseplay while teaching children the importance of eco-friendliness.
