Could both creatives have been influenced by NASA’s 1970′s emerging Viking spacecraft excursions to Mars? Guess the designer, guess the object. We’ll reveal the answer to this UFO tomorrow!

Ummm – a baby bassinet?! That'd be some futuristic little child. As far as designers, I have no idea, so I'll just go with Eames.

That's my guess on the object. I don't know designers though.

Ooh, yes, I was thinking a kind of Kubrick-esque crib!

I'm going to guess a Fritz Hansen baby cradle.

Definitely looks like some sort of baby bassinet to me too…no idea on the designer, but obviously someone who is all about modern design!
