Good Design for Children

It is not only that children deserve good design, but also we should always have in mind that what surrounds them creates their taste and esthetics for their life on. We all have certain memories and images that define our attitudes in life and influence our choices that have their roots in childhood. I have learnt that from experience with clients. So we should be very careful what we choose for their rooms. Safety is the other major factor to consider - if you like the appearance of something, but it has sharp corners or is made of materials that are not known or not sertified for low or no volatile emissions - better not buy them.
I intend to post often my findings for children rooms or well designed objects for kids - come visit my blog.
