There is something both old world and minimalist about the Hesus Rocking Horse, although some may consider the two descriptors to be contradicting. The latter owes itself to the [basic steel tube frame](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stamping-chair) that makes up the [playful rocker](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ready-rocker-1) while the former is due to the golden finish and braided leather seating.

Created by J.Key Schneyorson, a 29-year-old Israeli industrial designer based in Tel Aviv, the Hesus Rocking Horse is [beautifully abstract](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/immaterial-0001). It is intriguingly made up of four sectors of a circle, ranging in size to better represent specific features of the 'horse.' Perfect for any home, traditional or modern, the Hesus Rocking Horse will appeal to children of all ages--even grown ups that are still young at heart.
