Over on Switched On Set, we've just featured the latest version of the Eero Aarnio Puppy. Which got me thinking that we've never featured the inspiration behind it – the Pony by Eeero Aarnio, designed back in 1973.

The Pony was (and still is) part toy and part child's seat, with a moulded foam body, feet and ears, all connected by a tube frame and upholstered with stretch fabric. And as well as being something for your kids to climb all over, it's a bona fide design classic you can show off to your family and friends.

Still in production today, you can pick up the Pony by Eeero Aarnio for a not inconsiderable £2,795.
