I’m in love with these photos of the Lulu Cradle and Mokuba rocking horse from Danish design company Brdr. Krüger. Don’t you just love the colours?
In 1963, the Lulu Cradle was designed by prominent Danish designer Nanna Ditzel, and became a highly collectible example of modern Danish craftsmanship. All of Ditzel’s grandchildren slept in a Lulu Cradle, passing one cradle back and forth between family members over the years.
As part of the celebration of the 125th anniversary of Brdr. Krüger, the Lulu Cradle will be reproduced in a limited numbered edition of 200 pieces, in close cooperation with Nanna’s first daughter, Dennie.
Mokuba is the Japanese word for “rocking horse”, and the Japanese/Danish design duo O&M Design created this wooden playmate. In honor of their 125th anniversary, Brdr. Krüger will be producing Mokuba for the first time, also in a limited numbered edition of 200.
For enquiries contact Brdr Kruger directly. Thank you Toni at Skandivis for tipping me off!
Have a lovely week everyone!

Loving these pieces, for their quality in material as well as simple functional designs! Here is something that is sure to be handed down for generations!
Thanks for the heads up Toni – I love the fact that all of Nana Ditzel’s grand children slept in a Lulu cradle that was passed between family members…
I LOVE this girls… where do you find this stuff?
Being German I grew up with wooden toys and quality products. These days we live in a plastic world with cheap manufacturing. It’s so nice to see quality wooden products that are well designed.
The story behind it is inspiring and I also “love the fact that all of Nana Ditzel’s grand children slept in a Lulu cradle that was passed between family members…”
I have no doubt that the limited edition of 200 will be snapped up or so it should..
Great post x
Team work Tina, what can I say : ) Lucky families who will be owning one of these, I think it’s great to have a little crib circulating and being passed down.
Great find! I love that rocking horse! Even though I don’t have kids, I’d still like to have one … is that weird, lol!?
Xx.
Nope!

I’d love to hear if they’re getting one!
