Children are attracted by the bright colors and the uncoventional forms of Eero Aarnio's designs. And especially the Pony looks like an overdimensional toy.
But it is not the toy Eero Aarnio has intended to create with the Pony. The dimensions are conformed to adult's size.
The Pony shows the play of phantasy which is so characteristic for Eero Aarnio, and in a comfortable seat it might carry you to unknown fields of your own imagination.
What would design and Eero Aarnio be without humor. Nearly thirty years after Aarnio's playful Pony a new animal popped up in Eeros mind and here it is: TIPI.
And as for the Pony it goes as well for the Tipi: "a seat does not necessarily have to be a chair."
