Swaying Toy Boxes

The Rocking Box Offers a Fun Way to Store and Transport Your Playthings

— May 4, 2013 — Art & Design
What if the very object designed to stash your child's toys were to function as a plaything itself? The Rocking Box is this amusing storage system that delivers additional entertainment.

When it's closed, Egle Kirdulyte's toy box takes the form of a squat cylinder that can be laid flat to serve as a seat or a small table. Alternatively, you can reorient the trunk onto its curved side so that you can easily roll it around from room to room.

Compartments inside of the two semicircular halves keep all of your knickknacks and doodads safely tucked away. To access them, separate the pieces and open the lid. If you'd like to have a play with the Rocking Box on its own, each of the rounded sections can be ridden like a rocking horse.

1. Multifunctional Storage - The Rocking Box demonstrates the trend of creating storage systems that serve as playthings, offering a fun and practical solution for organizing toys.
2. Flexible Furniture - The Rocking Box highlights the trend of furniture that can adapt to different functions and can be easily moved around, providing convenience and versatility.
3. Interactive Toy Design - The Rocking Box exemplifies the trend of designing toys that engage children in active play and encourage imaginative exploration.

2. Toy Manufacturing - The Rocking Box opens up possibilities for the toy manufacturing industry to create interactive and multi-purpose toys that stimulate children's creativity and problem-solving skills.
3. Home Organization - The Rocking Box introduces a new perspective for the home organization industry, showcasing the potential for combining practical storage solutions with enjoyable experiences.
