Floating Fish Mobile

First to recommend

Description

Although a little basic at first glance, this fish mobile is designed to how simple an infant's powers of recognition can be. Form and contrast are all you really need. There seems to be a Paul Klee reference here that also adds a nice touch.

Aquaovo

As pretty a water-filtering system as you could find, Aquavo is also designed smart. The unit uses no electricity and forces water through its interior filter via the power of gravity. It comes with a handy glass pitcher for keeping water chilled.

Sian Swan

First to recommend

Description

Handcrafted by Brooklyn-based designer Sian Keegan, this bird is half crocheted and half sewn from recycled and scrap fabric. The piece is made (and sort of priced) like art, so it may be better suited to the dresser top, out of reach of small and grabby hands.
