Nowadays, when children in kindergarten boast about their iPads, iPhones and Play Stations this article may sound like a ridicule or a provocation. But it isn't. I am one of the people who likes simple and multifunctional things (and inexpensive!) And if they are also eco friendly and well designed – it's full of happiness.

 

My children got a torch as a present, but not an usual one (they already have some: big one, small one, talking one...) The new torch is special as it doesn't require batteries; it is equipped with dynamo and two LED diodes. You just need to press the grip for about 20 seconds to recharge it. They just love it.

 

It had inspired me for searching and I found something even better!

 

I have already featured Pekala Design Collection at Houslogy. This time I would like to give you some more information about one special element of this collection - Kamasutra bench. It is one of the object you cannot pass indifferently. It attracts the attention with vivid colours, hypnotic pattern and unusual shape.

 

If you are looking for an original idea for a storage and stool to your kid's room, you are in a right place.

 

PLECIAK by Proteindesign is a hand woven from old newspapers storage/stool which takes recycling newsprint to a whole new level.

 

I found some nice furniture and home accessories I'd like to share with you. They are inspired by child's plays and artworks such as cuttings, puzzling, colouring or blocks building. However they are not only for kids or kidults. Everyone who cares for his/her inner child would appreciate the results of the designer’s efforts.
