LITTLE LIVING is a thoughtfully designed furniture series for children from age one, created to grow with them through life’s stages. While most children’s furniture is discarded as kids outgrow it, LITTLE LIVING offers lasting functionality and sustainability. Crafted primarily from warm, durable European beech, each piece is designed to nurture creativity and feel timeless in any home. Coral pink, a joyful accent, is used to enhance emotional connection while minimising material waste, covering less usable parts of the wood and turning imperfections into features. Each piece nurtures creativity while remaining timeless and harmonious in the home. By combining adaptability, sustainability, and emotional design, LITTLE LIVING enriches everyday family life and empowers young lives from the very beginning.
