Produced by Magis, Rocky is the ideal companion for all budding adventurers. Designer Marc Newson has reinterpreted the traditional rocking horse in a more modern version made of polyethylene. Rocky has an integrated saddle and stirrups and a rope rein made of natural hemp. This playful little piece gently rocks on its base, allowing the horse to remain stable in all circumstances. Available in black, white or brown, Rocky fits perfectly in a child's bedroom, making an original gift idea.
Born in Sydney in 1963, Marc Newson studied jewellery and sculpture at Sydney College of the Arts, then travelled in Asia and Europe, experimenting with the creation of designer furniture. He received a grant from the Australian Crafts Council which enabled him to stage his 1st exhibition with the Lockheed Lounge armchair, which has won three world awards in 20 years. He works in Tokyo, Paris and London and has his own agency. Marc Newson is the most famous and influential designer of his generation, working for a number of prestigious brands including Cappellini, for whom he has created a number of astonishing pieces: the Felt Chair, the Embryo Chair and the Wooden Chair. Passionate about technology and new materials, his creations are bold, with generous, organic shapes. Marc Newson also works for a number of companies, including Ford and Dassault Aviation, creating bicycles, cars and yachts, a far cry from contemporary furniture and lighting. His creations are generally considered to be essential works of modern design and are included in the collections of several museums (MoMa, Centre Georges Pompidou, Vitra Design Museum). He has won numerous awards, including the Royal Design for Industry in the UK, and Her Majesty The Queen has awarded him the title of CBE (Commander of the Order of the British Empire).

MAGIS
In 1976, Italian brand Magis began working on innovative projects from a technological and creative point of view. Magis is considered a true "design laboratory" thanks to its in-depth experiments. The brand has collaborated with some of the best-known names in design, such as Ron Arad, Konstantin Grcic and the infamous Chair One, as well as the Bouroullec brothers. The "Magis Style" creates an impression, whether in the form of small office accessories or outdoor furniture. In 2000, Jasper Morrison achieved a technological feat with his "Air Chair", the world's first single-hull, air-moulded chair. Magis considers itself a creative think tank for quality design.
