Designed for kids

Responding to a burgeoning market of style-conscious and design-savvy parent-consumers, 'Designed for kids' is the first guide to products for children from nursery age to pre-adolescence. Sourced from around the world, these innovative designs are aesthetically pleasing and technologically advanced, and many have been designed by parents themselves.

Featuring over 450 objects, the book covers textiles, decoration, toys, electronics, lighting, accessories and furniture, as well as products for travel and bedtime. Informative texts review the strengths, materials and specifications of each product, and six interviews with internationally acclaimed design visionaries offer a professional perspective on the challenges and delights of designing for children.
