‘hobbel rocking horse’ by blooey
dutch designers remko verhaagen and stephen boom have conceived ‘hobbel’ for the rotterdam-based studio blooey,
a children’s rocking horse that aims to maintain a tidy and uniform interior space in contrast to other toys in the market.
influenced by bent steel tubing, the chair provides a clean and elegant solution that appeals to parents and kids alike.
