Design and Color Are for Little Stylistas Too!

This Eames Elephant is a part of a great collection for kids from Vitra.  The assortment of colors offers an option for children and those who are just kids at heart, too (photograph Hans-Joerg Walter, copyright Vitra).  I also just read about a sculpture called "Old Leaf" on the Material Girls blog.  It's the work of artist Kathy Taslitz and it reminds me so much of Eames classic work in a modern and organic way.

This Porcupine Desk by Hella Jongerius is also fantastic.  Though it was introduced in 2007, it's sure to be classic in the world of children's modern furniture for years to come.  I can just see my baby's colored pencils decorating it's top.
