Materiality and kid’s furniture
Like all well-constructed furniture, children’s furniture must also be well made. Many argue that children will outgrow their furniture and it makes sense to buy products made out of cheap material.
However empirical evidence and research mentions the rough use kid’s furniture is subjective and just as they chew or gnaw on their tricycles they do the same with their furniture. This makes it more important for the product quality to be the best.
It is important to use the right material and adhere to compliant manufacture processes while manufacturing kid’s furniture.
Furniture that becomes a family staple during childhood will eventually grow to be a treasured heirloom, promoting sustainable living by teaching children that furniture and objects are meant to last a lifetime
. As children mature they remember those items from their own home and, inspired by nostalgia and memory, learn to instinctively appreciate good design (and perhaps even emulate it, as young budding designers).
A mix of materials is ideally: combine wood, recycled materials, vintage items, fun pops of resin, or rubber to create an individually chic child space.
