Modernist Rocking Horses By Frederik Roijé




Next time your child whines "I want a pony", consider these Rocking Squares by Frederik Roijé. Albeit as exspensive as a real horse, these will last forever.

I've been a fan of Dutch designer Roijé for sometime now. His "Holy Homes", two porcelain birdhouses, caught my eye, several years ago and since then I try to keep up with his inventive designs.

His Rocking Squares are a reinvention of the traditional Hobby Horse or Rocking Horse. The wood rocking horse is covered with a durable coating, is available in three sizes and two color options.







A stunning combination of interactive sculpture and hip toy, the Rocking Square is available for purchase (at a price befitting original art, rather than a child's toy) and ships directly from his Holland studio. Shipping time is 6-8 weeks.

The available sizes and prices are as follows.

Dimensions (l x w x h) & Prices
large, black or white, 250 x 75 x 180 cm = €8200 ($10,975.70 USD)
medium, black or white, 180 x 60 x 130 cm = €6200 ($8298.70 USD)
small, black or white, 130 x 40 x 90 cm = €4500 ($6023.25 USD)

Unusual Integrated Furniture Designs From Ontwerpers Nu




On December 16, 2008 Ontwerpers Nu, a Netherland design company, founded by Christiaan Oppewal and Silvijn van der Velden, suffered a tragic fire in their warehouse, which destroyed absoutely everything. 2009 was a fresh start for the company as they moved into the RDM Innovation Dock, part of the RDM Campus.

Ontwerpers Nu continues to create new designs during the rebuilding-process. A company, firmly rooted in the present, they are working on a new future without looking back and they have lots of unusual products that exemplify just that.



Increasingly skilled and possessing what they call a "dutch mentality", they deliver visionary objects, furniture and products. The designs are sold nationally as well as internationally, and are used in private, public and commercial surroundings.

Here are some of their wildly innovative designs and products.

The Bright Table
The Bright Table is a combination coffee table, fish bowl, fruit dish, vase and design light... all in one. Made of bright white fiber reinforced artificial resin, even the lamp comes with it.

Light Up


Deep sea fish becomes furniture.
Some deep sea creatures catch their food with lights on their heads. These striking animals have been an inspiration for a chair with a light, organically shaped. The Light Up would be a real eye catcher in a lounge or a waiting room, but also the living room would benefit from this special object. We have paid special attention to the ergonomics of this chair, which will benefit your back. The Light Up is made of maintenance free material and will look great in the garden too.




Production and delivery on special request only.
Material: fiber reinforced artificial resin, steel construction
Colour: blue / white
Size: 120 x 155 x 210 cm.



Cleanroom Chair


A digital chair.
This chair combines great ergonomics with extreme functionality. Therefore it is a very suitable object for the use of laptops on flexible work places and in waiting rooms. But it can also be a minimal office for a home worker. It was designed as an extension of your body which makes it really comfortable. The design was incorporated into the collection of NgispeN, the new designlabel of Gispen. Available in every colour possible.




Material: fiber reinforced artificial resin, metal frame
Colour: bright white, green, lack, blue, red, yellow
Size: 80 x 100 x 73 cm.


Cabinet Chair


The first Cabinet Chair was designed for the lobby of a hotel. Guests can have a look at brochures and books in this chair. Moreover, it is possible to use the internet with a build in monitor and keyboard. It’s the perfect information desk with a twist. In libraries, flexible working places, a waiting room or at home it can be a beautiful eye catcher too. The drawer is delivered together with the Cleanroom Chair and the required equipment.

Lace Goes Modern In A New Collaboration From Etsprit and Momantai Design




The newest collaboration of Roel van Hove of Etsprit and Ulrike Jurklies of Momantai Design. combines modern technological production with traditional furniture.

Traditional lace in stainless steel

Classic lace-work patterns are etched onto stainless steel and give old tables a second life and a great new look.



Unveiled this month at the Dutch Design Week in Eindhoven from 17 October till 25 October 2009 at the Strijp-S complex, the unusual tables, luminaires, coasters and place mats are a result of the cooperation with Etsprit - specialized in etching technology - and with support of Plauener Spitze ®.

The old traditional wood end and dining tables with turned legs get a modern face lift with the etched lace stainless steel tops.

The Tables:









Outdoor tables with metal frames and legs get the treatment, too.




And what better way to set these tables than with their Lace etched glass votives or their stainless steel placemats and coasters?

Glass luminaires:


Rectangular etched placemats:



Round etched placemats:


Round etched Coasters:



[mó, man, tai] (cantonese)= no Problem

With their laser cut and etched products they aim to develop concepts which surprise, entertain and impress in a convincing way.

Sustainability and community responsibility are priorities in the conceptualization and development of their products. Uncomplicated, timeless aesthetics form the basis for long-term pleasure of use.
