The Rocker by Doshi Levien was designed for the German brand Richard Lampert. It is a unique take on the [classic rocking horse](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pony), completely altering what most remember from their childhood.

The inspiration of the design came from finding that [children are interested in playing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moopi) with items that are normally not meant to be played with. The Rocker by Doshi Levien attempts to mimic the appearance of a [mysterious, unknown object](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fossil-furniture) that incites the child to imagine all the different possibilities and uses for it.
