SNAKKES Wall Lamp – Speach Bubble LED Light Board

SNAKKES is a wall mounted LED light board that functions as a wall lamp and a notice board. It would be great for the kids room where it could function as a “chalk board”.

SNAKKES is the latest lamp from the Norwegian design collectiv Northern Lighting, and the word “snakkes” actually means “talk to you later” in Norwegian.

Rockid – Rocking Chair and Cradle in One

So smart, practical, simple and cute! A rocking chair and cradle in one. The dutch Rockid could be a sleep deprived parents best friend.

Instead of sitting beside the cradle rocking it with your hands, you can simply sit in the rocking chair part of the Rockid with one hand on the baby in the cradle part, rocking yourself and the baby to sleep with your feet!

Or…imagine sitting on the front porch reading in the rocking chair, automatically rocking the cradle with your sleeping baby.

This piece of furniture really brings up some romantic images… only one thing I’d like to change about it – I’d love to see some good head support on that rocking chair.

Tha Rockid is made by Dutch Ontwerpduo, and is available at KAIA, for 849.00 EUR.
