Luca Boscardin's collection of rocking animals,Calvacade, form a delightful menagerie. Each fashioned from a single piece of wood, the collection features a sweet white horse, a dashing zebra, a tiny reindeer, a tall giraffe, and a snappy alligator. These rockers are made to both rock and scoot, and include a set of flip-down wheels for mobile play.
