Product Description
Responding to a burgeoning market of style-conscious and design-savvy parent-consumers, Designed for Kids is the first guide to products for children from nursery age to pre-adolescence. Sourced from around the world, these innovative designs are aesthetically pleasing and technologically advanced, and many have been designed by parents themselves. Featuring over 450 objects, the book covers textiles, decoration, toys, electronics, lighting, accessories and furniture, as well as products for travel and bedtime. Informative texts review the strengths, materials and specifications of each product, and six interviews with internationally acclaimed design visionaries offer a professional perspective on the challenges and delights of designing for kids.

I loved it, it has a great selection, great pictures and info. Each product has a website if you want to know more.

OK, so I am one of those sad people who still like toys and who spent ages looking at pushchairs and cots when our baby was born. This book has some fantastic designs in it, as well as a few over designed gaffes. All of which make for a good read. The good designs are a joy to look at, and the bad designs are a bit of a laugh. It all made me want to be a toy or 3D designer. I bought this book as a bit of personal history too, as in 20 years time it'll be interesting for our kids to look at. Imagine if there was a book like this about kids toys and equipment from the 1960s, written in the 1960's. Even the narrative will be a period piece in 20 years!
Format:Hardcover
Brilliant book, with some lovely items just wish I had found it about a year ago.It would be good to be able to get distributors for the items in the UK but a bit of web searching and you can find most.
