Limitless creativity for children

For children, the world looks very different than for adults, something that must always be borne in mind when selecting furniture for children. Remembering our own childhood, we know what is important and fun: and that kid's furniture is exposed to higher loads and ideally should be able to serve as a toy. Designers have long come to the conclusion: Ray and Charles Eames designed objects especially for children, such as the Eames Elephant, and which gained not only worldwide recognition as a children's toy, but also as a decorative object. An entire range of children's furniture has been launched by the Italian manufacturer Magis in form of their Me Too Collection, and which includes designs such as the Julian chair by Javier Mariscal or Marcel Wander's Little Flare children's table and which blur the lines between toy and furniture design and give the imagination free rein.

Tidying away in no time

Five minutes of intense play with friends and siblings can occasionally resemble a weeks worth of fun. To ensure a quick return to order, flexible, spacious storage solutions are required. Mobile containers such as the USM Haller children's roll container are ideal in their numerous bright colours. The flexible helpers can be easily moved and stow just about everything to be found in the nursery. Competent all-rounders are also the Componibile containers from Kartell, which can also function as a side table with their spacious compartments and practical sliding doors.

Design Classics for children – Durable, ergonomic, grows with the child

Numerous renowned furniture manufacturers now offer smaller versions of their iconic designs, objects tailored to the needs of children – both in terms of their proportions and functionality. Examples include the Panton Junior by Vitra, the Series 7 children's chair 3177 by Fritz Hansen, or the S 43 K by Thonet: They are in no way inferior to their larger counterparts in terms of quality and design rather are optimally tailored to children's dimensions. While via extension rods the Eiermann children's desk can be used by children from preschool ages until the end of the secondary schooling.

Design classics in children's rooms are not only an aesthetic statement, but also impress with their durability, high-quality materials and timeless design language. Those who invest in high-quality, grow-with furniture from the outset save in the long run and create an environment that supports children's development in an age-appropriate manner – without compromising on design. The range is complemented by sophisticated bedding solutions such as the children's version of Rolf Heide's stackable daybed, which can be stacked to save space or easily transported – ideal for flexible families and small spaces.

Children's desks

The start of the new school year is an exciting and thrilling time.... and one that involves a lot of preparation. A particularly important step is creating an ideal learning environment at home, and this is where the designer children's desk comes into their own. These desks combine functionality and style, and also form the basis for concentrated and effective work. An ergonomically designed desk that fits the child's height perfectly not only ensures correct posture, but also prevents long-term health problems. Many of these exquisite models offer innovative features such as adjustable heights and angles of the work surface, which makes them particularly versatile. And they are not only practical, but also aesthetically pleasing, with elegant lines and high-quality materials that are a highlight in any child's room.

Sufficient storage space is also important so that books, pens and notebooks can be neatly stored and the workspace remains tidy. Good lighting, ideally with a stylish lamp that does not cast a shadow on the work surface, supports the eyes and reduces fatigue. Colourful and creative desk designs can also encourage children's motivation and creativity. Parents should make sure that the desk is in a quiet place to minimize distractions. A comfortable and ergonomic seat that matches the designer desk is also essential. The start of school offers a perfect opportunity to lovingly set up the desk together with the child, taking individual needs and preferences into account, this way the designer desk becomes a place where the child enjoys learning and feels relaxed and comfortable. With these stylish and well-thought-out measures, parents can prepare their children, as best as possible, for everyday school life and give them a happy and successful start in the new school year.

Inspiration for furnishing the teenage room

Children grow up and develop to teenagers who increasingly value their own place of retreat. An optimally equipped workspace that enables them to study efficiently at home is particularly important. The right workspace equipment plays a key role here, as it helps young people to stay motivated and focussed at their desks.

Manufacturers such as Müller Small Living offer well thought-out and complete furnishing solutions for teenagers' rooms that are both functional and aesthetically pleasing. These solutions are designed to meet the needs and preferences of teenagers and create a pleasant environment in which they can feel comfortable and be productive.
