Every George and Willy product is designed to elevate your space, be simple to use and to wear in and not out. Above all, it's about having fun. We totally love their wall-mounted Studio Roller that easily dispenses butchers kraft paper rolls so you can design the next dish on the menu, plan your day or get creative, and their Wooden Letter Board, a beautiful way to use display lettering for your menu, to-do-list, or for announcements in your space. We need them!
AVDAR
AVDAR is a young brand with multiple cultural background developed by Evgeny (from Russia) and Lulu (from Mongolia). In 2016, when they become parents, they did their first wooden rack for their son, and that was the beginning of the story of this brand. Avdar is minimalism, where 1 simple toy can replace at least 5 other toys. Avdar is handmade and nature using solid wood and non toxic water based paint. Avdar is open-ended and free play for kids, to grow active and creative human being. Fantastic!
ELSA DRAY-FARGES
Elsa Dray-Farges is born in 1985, graduated from ENSAAMA in Paris in 2006, and from the Gerrit Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam in 2009.
We found out her creations, sculptures and illustrations tailored for showcases and events, and we totally love her colorful, joyful work, always borrowed from a certain melancholy.
She works with several clients who come from a variety of backgrounds such as fashion (Hermès, Tommy Hilfiger, Aesics), decoration (Anne-Claire Petit), the press (Télérama, Kid’s Wear, Grazia Casa, Psychologie Mag), the theater (Les Possédés, l’Avantage du doute).

IMAKIRO
Imakiro comes from the Japanese word Orikami: ori "fold" and kami "paper". Its "inverted" reading has given rise to Imakiro, a project to experiment, transform and create using the classic technique of Origami. Curiosity about paper and its infinite possibilities, the passion for art and new forms of creation, led Belen to develop this technique where paper is the only medium. A multitude of colors, motifs and textures that serve as inspiration to create new figures and handmade designs. Imakiro offers a world of possibilities and artisan productions adapted to individual needs. Unique and exclusive products to create simple, warm and cozy environments!!
PLATTENBAU
We discover Plattenbau, an homage to the space concept of early Bauhaus and a learning tool which serves the comprehension of complex relativities. Plattenbau is a cube assembled from 25 softly polished fine wood components. It is both a learning element and a toy at the same time. Its individual components can be assembled and combined in all different ways. Due to the haptic and intelligent construction of ever new forms, not only the perception of space qualities and the orientation in space are trained, but also the skills in abstract and strategic thinking. Love it, so simple so clever!
NUEN
The summer of 2018 in Huglo, an island on the west coast of Norway with 90 inhabitants, half of them furniture carpenters, Nuen was born. A sustainable furniture brand based on the materials around us, the people around us, a close-to-nature-company with a real positive impact on society. Have a look at their pieces and fall in love with them!
FANNY & ALEXANDER
Fanny & Alexander was founded on a fundamental desire to encourage children (and the adults who love them) to play a little more, and a little better. Their founder, Delfina Aguilar, had long been captivated by objects that were well-conceived, well-designed, and well-made, but after becoming an aunt, and later a mother, quickly realised that very few toys in her family's toy chest possessed these qualities. And so Fanny & Alexander was born. Their toys are designed to be a pleasure to look at and a joy to play with. They're designed to last, and to be loved. These wilfully analogue toys offer a welcome antidote to our digital age, and to modern toys which only require children to sit passively before them.
JIPFISH
The Jipfish Kids Wagon is about exploration, imagination and adventure. Children have the freedom to see the world and get lost in their own, all while knowing that you are right ahead of them. They offer many different colors and stickers, to make each wagon uniquely yours! Wow!

SAIL MINI POUF BY DIABLA
Look at the kid's version of Diabla outdoor bean bag: Sail Mini designed by Héctor Serrano, the children's pouf from the Sail series. Sitting in Sail Mini is like receiving a happy hug, because this seat moulds to the shape of your body. This is thanks to the polystyrene bead filling, which repositions and intuitively adapts to your posture. It is fun and comfy for adults, so imagine how great it is for children!
Its upholstery is specially designed for outdoor use, but Sail Mini can also be used in indoor spaces. The cover is completely removable, so it can be easily washed. We are dreaming to enjoy outdoor spaces with this!
OYOY

SENTAT
Sentat is a new way of conceiving and accompanying public spaces for leisure, work and culture.
We live in a constantly changing world, where innovation and reinvention have become constant factors in our daily lives. We came about with the aim of adapting to that change, and being able to offer new, practical, simple solutions. But above all, with the aim of making collective areas more human and sociable.
So Sentat creates more dynamic, flexible socialising spaces through unique cushions, and they have consequently developed a collection of versatile seating designed for public spaces and collective groups. Sentat works to bring people closer together, to encourage interaction between them.
We hope to be able to spend more time with others soon by using their products!
CURIO STUDIO
Curio Studio was started by Tom Wilson, a practicing architect, in 2013. It was born out of a desire to practice a more complete creating process, enabling design and making to inform one another, in a way that they can only do when the designer is the maker. The scale of production is small, and sometimes slow. His objects are not large, and sometimes very small. He choses natural materials, and will often become more beautiful with age and use.
CARDKITS
Cardkits are an inspiring world of beautiful, sustainable paper toys. Each Cardkit comes as a set of printed and pre-cut card stock parts. You have to pop out the parts, fold them along pre-scored lines, and join them together with white glue to bring a kit to life. Once assembled, Cardkits go together to form engaging miniature worlds. Each kit comes with a colorful fish figure that fits inside vehicles and buildings and interacts with accessories. You can arrange furniture inside buildings, move trains along track, change the foliage of trees, and much more!

REBORN BY FAVINI
We want to introduce you Reborn the new range of ecological notebooks by Cartotecnica Favini, that combine design with sustainability. These new notebooks are characterized by the covers made with Favini’s creative reuse papers: Crush and Remake, respectively made with agro-industrial processing and leather residues, in partial substitution of tree cellulose. The agro-industrial and leather residues remain visible on the surface of the paper adding a remarkable and pleasing feel to the touch. The graphics on the covers are inspired by the nature and the delicate colours of the ecological papers by Favini. They have styles that satisfy both romantic and pragmatic tastes – thanks to the version with delicate foliage – and the more geometric versions of abstract flowers and leaves. We love this new collection!
ANALOGIFT
We totally love these paper miniatures by Analogift. Lovely tiny artistic worlds made in Thailand!

THE SPACE BETWEEN BY JASON DOBBS
Traditional puzzles generally ask you to assemble an object to make a shape or create a picture. The puzzle is a kind of a reverse Tangram. The space between by Jason Dobbs is a shape forming puzzle that asks a player to form the outline of a shape or picture by using a series of pentagonal tiles. A player is presented with a silhouette of a geometric shape, person or wild creature and asked to arrange a series of tiles to form a continuous loop or outline to match the silhouette. The silhouette shape is created by the space between the connected pentagons. What to do you think?
