A TWO SIDED TABLE FOR LIFE ON AND OFF LINE

A table that will eliminate noise because it will only allow the user to communicate in one way at a time. The ONLINE side is made of felt and can be deliberately closed by storing away any digital equipment in one of the compartments. Felt has a soothing effect and will help create serenity in the workplace. The other side of the table top, OFFLINE, is made of wood with a single candle as the only embellishment. By lighting the candle, the user will deliberately start his offline communications. Choose between digital and analogue, online and offline, by turning your table top.

A SOFT BOOK OF HARD FACTS FOR CHILDREN

The Heart of Mees is about Puss. Puss has died because her heart stopped working. This book, part of a series, offers children a playful explanation of the way the heart works. The story and the tactile experience of this book, made completely out of felt, are aimed at children. The cards offering additional information are aimed at their parents, allowing parent and child to take their time together to explore and learn about the workings of the body. The Heart of Mees combines education and playtime, quality time and reading, a children’s doctor kit and a book.
