Fairs are a good place to find out the best and more innovative designs. More and more events are taking place in the area of kids design, and we can enjoy discovering new fresh projects.
On September 10th and 11th, afilii– the platform for design fit for kids, for the first time ever at the Design Post Köln, will be showcasing creative, functional and meaningful play products and children’s furniture by 28 designers and manufacturers from eight different countries, as well as prototypes by young designers from Germany and Korea.
We love the selection of designers and brands: the modern dollhouse from Boomini, furniture from Kalon Studios or Little Nest by Oszkár Vági among others. Here’s a small selection of my favourites:
