Type Chairs

This great series of 26 typographic chairs was designed by Roeland Otten. I’d love to walk through a room of these with my daughter and have her identify each one.

UPDATE: By crazy coincidence, Tina, at one of our favorite blogs (swiss miss), also posted some great type seating today, check it out.

Sit Spots

I’m digging these seats made of sliced rolls of wool created by Danish designer Lene Frantzen. How beautiful would story time be if each kid had one of these to sit on. Although I must be reading the price wrong, right? They appear to be kee-razy expensive. Maybe there’s a cheaper alternative? Very cool stools too.

Some really great thinking going into the designs over at boon. If you’re not familiar with their baby gear it’s worth your time to check them out. And once you’re beyond the bottle stage, I bet that grass would feel awesome on the feet after a long day.
Just kidding. Sorta.

I don’t really need to say anything, do I? But I’m going to… This is brilliant. So simple, so smart. You can buy from Muji’s website. Although you may need a translator.

And while we’re posting that little bit of awesomeness, it seems like an opportune time to share something else. Back in June we posted about a participatory art installation by Slovakian artist Roman Ondák at MoMA. Below is a new video featuring the artist describing his work. Pretty fun.

Flip Video

flip1
The Flip camera is brilliant. Particularly if you’re a new parent, you need one like you need a stroller. Seriously. You’re gonna have enough to manage that you’re won’t want to lug around a bulky camcorder, but you WILL want some of those moments documented. Making them even more convenient, they connect to your computer by way of a self-contained USB arm that snaps out with a flick of a switch.

My daughter and I enjoyed looking at this slideshow of photos by Corrie White. This snapshot of her set-up is a nice reminder that you don’t need a fancy studio or expensive equipment to do beautiful work.

We’re hardly the first to call attention to the beautiful products of Swiss company, momoll, but it almost feels irresponsible to not give them a mention. Find a retailer.

Not sure my daughter needs another excuse to do something other than actually eating, but also very hard to deny this very fun idea. Get them here.
