The design process of this rocking horse was focused on  stability without any external joints. The approach to achieve this was a system of several pieces that would work as both joints and features of the actual horse.

 

Two outline pieces that serve as a base and eleven smaller parts that comprised the seat, the handles or horsehair and the feet rest. The final design indirectly reflects form after function, where the functional characteristics go hand by hand with the asthetic decisions made through the process.
