The name of the designer is synonymous with a bygone space age era, but Eero Aarnio is still out there making interesting design, with the Eero Aarnio Pingy for Magis being just one example.
As you might have guessed, it is based on the waddling bird, with this plastic penguin designed to brighten up any children’s room. Just give it a push and Aarnio’s penguin should offer a bit of short-lived entertainment too.
It stands around 70cm high, 67cm wide and a depth of 40cm, with the price at 220 Euros. Not cheap, but this is likely to be as much a design investment as an amusing toy.
