The Parupu chair for kids gets an A+ for forward thinking design. It's tough and durable enough to withstand imaginative minds of what young ones might use it for (sitting is sometimes boring) and consciously constructed to be biodegradable, taking their future to heart.

Parupu, which means 'pulp' in Japanese, is made using the technology and materials of Swedish manufacturer Södra pulp labs (their website is one to check out or so many reasons).

The chair was presented at last year's design fair in Milan boasting happy features, like, it's recyclable, environmentally-friendly, stackable, colourful, and made for fun and games. Stay tuned for where to shop for this super seat....

Never too early to nurture appreciation for function and form. Molly-Meg thinks so too, bringing 20th century modern children's furniture designs within the short reach of grubby little hands.

Check out their current inventory and shop online for miniature masterpieces from designers Ercol, Alexander Begge, Flott-Otto and more including my favorite, the baby Bertoia for Knoll.
