“little nest” the felt cradle by Oszkar Vagi

Shaped out of one single wool felt the cradle hugs around the baby as a protective shell taking care of it’s peaceful rest.
The cradle reacts to every move and wiggle the baby makes and calms them down with gentle swaying.
The shape of the cradle is made of a double layer of Merino wool felt handcrafted by master hatter with traditional wool felting technique.

Intersections is a series of geometric modular objects.

As each module slides into the other, like two combs, form and colour meet and interweave.

Wiping, hiding, sliding, withdrawing – the asymmetrical plywood-furniture can be used from children in many various ways. Lying on the floor it becomes a swing or cradle, while sitting at the orange padded surface. Standing upright it is quickly transformed into a slide, a puppet theatre or a cave, whiled the upholstery inside has a sound-absorbing effect.
