Description
Our wooden plane mobile is cut from pine, with a loop of hemp cord at the top so it can hang from a hook or a peg rail. It takes the shape of a small propeller aeroplane: a rounded nose carrying a two-blade propeller, a tail fin rising at the back, four window cut-outs along each side, a short wing on each flank and wooden wheels beneath the body. At 25.5cm long, 10.5cm wide and 9.5cm tall, and weighing 0.2KG, it is a modest size that fits a narrow shelf and puts very little load on a hook.
It belongs in a nursery or a child's bedroom, and it works two ways. Hung by its cord, it adds shape and interest to a bare wall, a peg rail or the corner of a room; set down on its wheels, it stands on a bookshelf, a chest of drawers or a windowsill beside picture books and favourite things. With its simple, friendly outline, it makes a thoughtful gift for a new baby's room or a cheerful finishing touch for a playroom shelf.
Pine is a softwood with a clear, open grain, and here it is left unpainted in its natural colour, so the grain runs the length of the body and the cut edges of the wheels, wing and propeller show plainly. The parts are simple and chunky, the wheels held by small metal fixings at their centres, and the hemp cord is knotted at the top into a hanging loop. For styling, hang it slightly off centre on a peg rail beside a tote or a little coat, or line it up on a low shelf with other wooden pieces and a basket or two for a soft, natural corner of the nursery.
