I WANT!!!!

A SUPER ROCKING FLUFFY SHEEP!!!!!!
I first fell giddily in love with these at the Danish Crafts space at ICFF last year (saw it on a designer's blog) - and just noticed that this year they are launching in hot pink and black (and also an unpictured brown and grey)… I wish I can get a hold of them!!! I wish!!!
These are designed by Povl Kjær.
I SO SO SO wish that I can be like some lucky designers who are now gearing up for Design Week in NY for nearly 2 weeks!! Gosh one of my dreams is to get to NY and be part of their art and design culture there! If not at least get to experience their exhibits and designs shows also quite the dream come true already!! I shall dream on and see it come to past!!

Anyhow, back to the Baa baa PINK sheep!!!

From the Danish Crafts Collection Site:
The Rocking Sheep is a rocking animal designed primarily as a toy, which is also a unique crafts product that fits into any setting as a piece of furniture with a wide range of functions, including serving as a TV rack and as a footstool. The Rocking Sheep is made in varnished pine, padded with foam rubber and upholstered in lambskin. The first Rocking Sheep was a gift to Povl Kjer’s niece as a humorous reminder of her parents’ rural background. The Rocking Sheep are handmade in small series to preserve the high level of quality. The Rocking Sheep comes in white, black, brown, grey and pink. The dimensions are W: 25 cm, L: 83 cm, H: 60 cm, seat height approximately 40 cm.
