Monday, 6 May 2024

Ium

IUM (yum) is a set of sensory tableware for kids ages 2-5 that keeps them focus on eating. During mealtime, kids tend to be easily distracted, and thus the food is seldom fully eaten; they do not get enough daily nutrients and often produce wasted food. How might kids maintaining their concentration in eating? By integrating both color and sound into tableware, IUM not only encourages participation, but also creates an enjoyable and interactive eating experience for children. It helps kids to eat in a delightful way and eases the tension between their parents and them at the dining table.

Theatre Chair

Thea

MENUT is a design studio focused in kids design, with the clear objective of gapping the bridge with the one for adults. Our philosophy is to offer an innovative vision on the way of life of a contemporary family. We present THEA, a theatre chair. Sit down and paint; create your story; and call your friends! THEA's focal point is the back, which can be used as a stage. There is a drawer in the bottom part, which once opened conceals the backside of the chair and allows some privacy for the ‘puppeteer’. Kids will find finger puppets in the drawer to stage shows with their friends.

bird&berry collection

With bird&berry collection we tried to find a balance between parents and child's understanding of aesthetics. The collection combines simple elegance with functionality. Sloped lines are a reminder that nature doesn't think in straight lines thus evoking curiosity and imagination of little ones, to think outside the box and promote them to become in to an independent person. We were focusing on child's needs and the detail while crating every piece. Furniture made with love and attitude becomes something more than just a thing.
