The sturdy yet lightweight material can be re-recycled as paper; water- based adhesives are used to create its sandwich construction.

Cory Grosser launches a brand new minimalist toy, children’s seat and decorative interior object. It was originally designed as a one-off prototype for Humanscale’s Faces in the Wild auction with proceeds benefiting the World Wildlife Fund. Inspired by a sea turtle, it’s a great gift to give a child when they are young that they can keep for life.
The design has a simple, graphic aesthetic and premium, furniture inspired materials. Made from powder coated steel rod and premium saddle leather, it’s durable and will patina nicely over time. The dimensions are 25″x19″x6″ / 63cmx48cmx15cm. The paint coating is water based and non-toxic.
A limited edition of Turtle/Turtle is available in matte white with spinneybeck premium saddle leather in matching white.

‘Famille Garage’ is the name given to Alexander Seifert’s modular furniture set. What’s really special about this piece of furniture is that it can be adapted to the needs of children of all age groups. It meets the demands of toddlers as well as those just starting school, since it can be simultaneously used as storage or shelving, seating, a plaything or just somewhere to tinker about. According to Al-exander Seifried: “When I was a child, I always saw my room as a sort of workshop. My experiences with those plastic workshop boxes – the ones that are normally mounted on the back of workshop benches – formed the driving force behind this design.” A wooden frame forms the basis for the bench, table and shelf elements, which can also be used as a baby’s changing table. Colourful and food-safe plastic boxes for toys, nappies or other little special objects can either be placed on the shelf or stowed away under the piece. The high-quality boxes in red, green or blue are available in two depths. The frame is made of three-ply pine sheeting combined with post forming sheeting with a hard-wearing Melamine veneer.

Tur Tur is the name of the new high chair designed by Eric Degenhardt for the new children’s
furniture collection from Richard Lampert. Like its namesake from Michael Ende’s children’s book the high
chair appears to be enormous, and it’s only when you look at it more closely you can see
that it offers children both, protection and a wonderful overview of their surroundings.
You may as well sit on the floor inside the steel frame, feeling like in a sort of house.
With a single blanket you create a tent…
No limit of imagination!

At first glance, Wonder Box appears to be a monochrome cube, when in fact it’s a table and matching bench that fit perfectly one into the other, forming a compact block. On further inspection, the duo presents many more practical details and additional functions. On the one side, the rotating tabletop can be used as a writing desk and on the other side, the special surface finish means it can be used as a blackboard. An integrated,roomy drawer offers more than enough space for writing instruments or toys. The tabletop is also equipped with a groove for keeping pens, pencils and crayons in.

This is just one of a truly innovative collection of rugs by French company Youlka Design.
Each playful design is essentially two layers of wool felt, with the top one laser cut so that the coloured pieces are removable like a giant puzzle. They’re beautifully made and hand-dyed with gorgeous colours and several patterns to choose from. Great for a playroom, they do look amazing and would keep little fingers busy for hours.
