ride it

this isn't new by any means, but i was finishing up stuff for my kids piece and i just fell in love with this. designed by eero aarnio in the early seventies, pony is a classic piece that certainly deserves some more contemporary attention. although it looks like a child's toy (and certainly would work as one), the dimensions of the pony are actually fit for an adult- it's a whimsical seat that clearly expresses aarnio's love of fantasy. when asked about it he said, "a chair is a chair, is a chair, is a chair ... but a seat does not necessarily have to be a chair. tt can be anything as it is ergonomically correct. a seat could even be a small and soft Pony on which you can 'ride' or sit sideways." [quote from eero aarnio's website]. it's quite simply a lovely piece that brings a smile to my face. hope it brings one to yours too. [images and quote from eero aarnio's official site]
