Designed for Kids by Phyllis Richardson

Of course we were chuffed to see our own Nest on the front cover of Designed for Kids: A Complete Sourcebook! This book indexes more than 450 cutting-edge products for children. Phyllis Richardson had trawled online resources and the blogosphere and indexed these designs for kids and describes the impact of new manufacturing processes and innovative materials on this fast growing design niche.

Professional perspectives on the delights and challenges of designing for kids are incorporated in the book through interviews with Paola Antonelli, Yves Béhar, Tom Dixon, Greg Lynn, John Maeda, and Scott Wilson.

We look forward to receiving our copy. Available from Amazon.

Cocoon Coutures signature piece the enchanted tree recently won the prestigious magazine Home Beautiful award for product of the year in the accessories category. Mellissa Collinson was enthusiastic in her praise;

This is really gorgeous. It has really high attention to detail and a really cute look.

We agree with Mellissa.

Enchanted Tree is made of renewable plantation timber. Its vintage wallpaper inspired leaves are silk screen printed using non toxic inks. The tree is 110cm high and is adorned with the now famous sleepy owl and Early Bird.
