Iconic Cloud Chair: A Harmonious Blend of Design for Kids and Parents

Handcrafted Dutch Design by Pia Weinberg - Maison Deux

The Iconic Cloud Chair, part of a series of rockers including cloud, moon, and watermelon designs, is a fresh take on the traditional rocking horse. Handcrafted in the Netherlands from solid French oak and upholstered with high-quality fabric made from 100% wool by Kvadrat, the chair is designed to last for generations. The design also includes rubber strips on the legs to protect floors and stoppers to ensure modest swinging.

Designer Pia Weinberg envisioned a world where products for children and adults could coexist in harmony, rather than being segregated based on style and use. The Iconic Cloud Chair embodies this vision, offering a minimalistic design that easily blends into any interior while attracting children to play and develop their skills.

The chair is not just a piece of furniture, but a tool for learning and development. Rocking on the Iconic Cloud Chair helps children enhance their coordination and balance skills, laying the foundation for imaginative play. The design challenges the notion that a rocking horse should be an actual horse, encouraging children to take joyrides on a cloud instead.

The Iconic Cloud Chair was launched in collaboration with Parisian Concept Store collete during the Paris Design Week and presented at Maison & Objet in September 2016. The chair is a testament to the use of local and natural sources like solid oak and 100% wool, materials that are long-lasting and naturally child-friendly. The project was realized in collaboration with a local factory and upholstering company, ensuring high-quality design pieces.

The Iconic Cloud Chair is a symbol of the new generation of rocking horses, a design icon that will last for generations. It represents a successful attempt to create a minimalistic design with a touch of fun that appeals to both children and adults. The chair is a perfect example of how design can be used to create a harmonious living environment for two generations.
