COLLECT furniture. Big ideas for small people

One of the highlights of my visit to Salone del mobile was meeting designer Frédéric Collette the brains behind Collect furniture  a young Danish company specialising in furniture for children.  I love "stool" wagon made from solid oak. This design can be easily stacked and has rubber wheels so you can Flip the stool over and the legs become handles for steering the wagon around the home.  

The company has a mission to produce high quality and sustainable furniture, which children love to explore and which is pleasing to the adult eye. 

Caspar a new desk design by Perludi

The Caspar desk is a new design by Austrian brand Perludi . This was among the handful of new and exciting furniture design for children on show during design week in Milan. Caspar, launched during design week, is a clever minimalist design made from bamboo. The desk height can be ajusted as your child grows through to adulthood. This desk is large enough to serve as a shared table. Its adjustable legs come in a range of colours and  there are also co-ordinating chairs. I look forward to stocking these desks once they go into production.
