As many parents know, decorating and furnishing a child's room can
be both a pleasure and a problem: you have somehow to find a
balance between practicality, playfulness, comfort, safety,
originality and making the most of the space available. Some of the
world's best-known designers and design companies have risen to the
challenge of creating furniture and accessories specifically for
children. Rather than being merely scaled-down adult designs, the
best designs for children should respond to their express needs: as
well as being durable, safe and easy to clean, they should nurture
a child's development and encourage creativity and the use of
imagination. This stylish book presents some 250 designs for
children, both iconic pieces of furniture, furnishings and toys and
more recent creations based on the latest technological advances.
From Charles and Ray Eames, Eero Aarnio and Nanna Ditzel through to
Marcel Wanders and Javier Mariscal, and from Knoll and Artek to
Alessi, MDF Italia and Magis, the biggest names in design have
produced beds, tables, chairs, storage, rugs, cutlery and
playthings that can be used from children's earliest days through
to the start of adolescence. With a fresh, appealing layout, the
book is divided into three main sections - furniture, accessories
and toys - within which the designs are further arranged into such
categories as cribs and cots, bookcases, mirrors, mobiles and
rocking horses. Throughout, concise descriptions are accompanied by
colourful and lively illustrations. Whether you are a
style-conscious parent seeking ideas for a functional yet fun
nursery, bedroom, playroom or study, a design professional or
simply a fan of contemporary design, this is an enchanting
