Tabitha Osler is the woman behind Faire Child. She knows there is urgent change needed in the fashion industry and she wanted to help other parents and kids be able to play, explore and fall in love with their natural world. She has designed waterproof garments that allow children to be outdoors - everyday, all day, whatever the weather – and she has done it in the most transparent way possible, by reusing materials! We love and share this amazing philosophy!
FORIVOR
Designed in the UK, Forivor’s bedding features a unique hand-drawn illustration on each side.
One side depicts a British woodland called Dayland, where wildlife hides in the undergrowth and up in the branches of the trees. Turning over your duvet reveals a transformed nighttime world called Forivorland.
Forivor’s duvets and blankets are presented in an organic cotton suitcase and are accompanied by a set of Character Cards to inspire storytelling and magical sleep.

SEVEN THINGS ABOUT ME BY MERIH AKMAN
On instagram we discover Seven things about me and we love this project by Merih Akman (27), a Turkish girl who lives in Italy. In these endless days of quarantine she started to reflect on our confinement and on the suspension of our social life. Taking out her sewing machine, she decided to sew blue stripes on a white stained linen shirt. Once in front of this "empty page", she automatically started embroidering a list of things that she missed a lot, including songwriters, drinks and foods.
Then she asked friends to send her their lists of seven "things": seven wishes, seven "things" that make them who they are, seven things that they want to remember about this quarantine...
What will be your 7 things? List 7 places, objects, whatever you want, she will embroider them and she can mail your personal list!
PIKS BY OPPI
Piks by Oppi is a creative toy designed to develop children’s attention and concentration.
The aim of the Piks game is simple - to create the most original and impressive structure by positioning all of the pieces without any of it falling down. By playing with Piks, children explore the intricacies of balance while decision-making, motor skills and imagination all come into play transforming the players into artists in a performance of concentration and skill.
Piks’ rubber cones come in three sizes: little, medium and big ones. Multiple sizes enhance the decision-making process and playfully challenge the construction process. The second ingredient is a set of wooden boards, each shape providing support for different construction possibilities. Combined with the cones, some make bridges between towers, others a base, others... well, it all depends on the artist’s vision!
GEORGE & WILLY
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!
VESA
We would love to introduce you VESA, a handcrafted game with unlimited possibilities and based on caring values. It is suitable for children over 18 months of age and it is designed in a harmless and responsible way.

Look at this wooden game of 12 cubes - made of beech wood - that allows kids to discover, have fun, learn and play through a theme representing a specific environment – the market of the seasons.
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
More than just a design brand, OYOY - founded in January 2012 by the Danish designer Lotte Fynboe - is for modern families in the search of re-calling childhood memories and creating new ones.
Their design collections are rooted in the Danish traditions of simplicity. They represent a playful yet straight forward aesthetic approach to design and they accompany everyday family life.

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!
