Walking under the table? No way!Give us special objects for the little ones! - every child has the right to demand this. So, for those parents who are not yet in the know, we report the main news of the Milan salon: big designers have taken up furniture for the little ones. In defiance of consumer goods - plastic and mass - they have started producing miniature haute couture furniture.
Children's modular furniture
The first to perform was the company Il Loft.The idea of releasing the Baby Collection by its owner Giorgio Saporiti was prompted by the birth of his grandson. As a result, the grandson brought his grandfather not only pleasant emotions, but also no less pleasant dividends. The furniture went off without a hitch! The Ligne Roset company did not develop a separate collection, but simply released “diminutive” copies of its iconic models. The Togo chair, designed in 1973 by Michel Ducaroy, is now available in miniature versions: Baby Togo and Mini Togo for little and older children. The Glup pouf by designer Sophie Larget has also been reduced in size. The famous Vitra brand followed the same path, releasing a children's bench in the shape of an elephant (Plywood Elephant), invented by design icons Ray and Charles Eames back in 1945. The plywood chairs, also created by the Eameses in 1945, were also reissued in a limited edition. Children have always loved Verner Panton's bright chairs (1959-1960), so it was only a matter of time before they were released as a children's version. The Panton Junior is about 25% smaller than the original and comes in seven different colors. A smaller copy of the famous Rossi di Albizzate model, the Dondolo chair, also appeared. The Cappellini brand also got its designer "babies". And what kind of ones! The Sunset chair is upholstered in sheared mink fur. The white and purple versions are for toddlers. The brown one is for teenagers. In general, children's furniture no longer has to be pink or blue. According to the latest trends, it can even be black. As for Russian designers, there are not many of them on the list of "child pleasers". One, two, and that's it. Actually, one, two, that's it. By order of the DuPont company, architects Vladislav Savinkin and Vladimir Kuzmin designed a Corian table for assembling puzzles. When turned upside down, it turns into a roomy container where you can conveniently put toys. For now, this is only an exhibition piece, made especially for the Milan Salone del Mobile, but soon the table will be released in a limited edition. We'll have a lot of fun!
In the following article you will find a step-by-step tutorial on how to do it.
