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.

Tongue Cleaner for the kids

Monday, 15 May 2023

Lollipop

Lollipop is a tongue cleaner for kids. The kids tongues are where millions of microorganisms live and causes not only emitting a strong malodor, but also contributing to halitosis and tooth decay. Although parents encourage their kids to both brush their teeth and clean their tongues, the kids tend to skip cleaning their tongues because cleaning tongue causes gagging, which is very unpleasant feeling. Lollipop help kids to clean their tongues because it is not only fun shape, but also fun to use. No more gagging is necessary while cleaning their tongues.

TTONE

TTone is an interactive toothbrush for children, which plays music without traditional batteries. TTone captures the kinetic energy produced by the brushing action. The concept is to make brushing to be a more interesting for the child, whilst also developing healthy dental hygiene habits. The music comes from the replaceable brush, When the brush is replaced they get a new musical tune along with the new brush. The music entertains the child, encouraging them to brush for the correct time, whilst also allowing the parents to know whether their child has completed their brushing time or not.
