This child sized rocking chair was designed by Zandra Johnson as part of her Fairytale Furniture range. The arm rests have been shaped to resemble a horse's head, which has been illustrated as such to fit the chair by Johnson's artist, Federico Bacca. Associated with the chair is a picturebook, written by Johnson and illustrated by Bacca. The aim of Johnson's company is to link children's seating to adventure and education, which is why the character featured on the chair also appears in the book. Johnson also makes doll-sized versions of these rocking chairs.
