Fluffs is a plush soft toy with it’s own personalised clothes and name tag, designed and handmade by Matteo Baratto from Studio Fludd. So hard not to fall in love …….
Cubetti is a hand-painted set of wooden cubes for kids - match and make your own mixed animal version! Creative and artistic work by Studio Fludd, a young Italian creative collective. Dilettvole!
I’m so in love with this hand-painted wall in little Mateo’s room ….
A shop filled with simple and gorgeous items for babies - that’s Tipitipi. I like their hanging soft toys and cute pacifier holders.
And some handmade baby items inspired by Betz White’s book, “Sewing Green: 25 Projects made with Repurposed and Organic Materials” from her Sewing Green flickr pool.
Charming DIY cardboard town found here.
What about this huge castle with elaborate details built from cardboard? Amazing!
I think you’ll be as fascinated as I was when I saw these mini modern dollhouses featured in the New York Times article and slideshow.
And if you are a minimalist modernist, this designer dollhouse from Minimii comes with optional modern furniture that would certainly appeal to grown-ups (like me!) also. Gorgeous work of art!
If you love the idea of a dollhouse filled with mini modern design, there’s a remarkable Modern Miniatures Group on Flickr where you can view more. Prepare to be impressed!
What is Makedo? Makedo is a connector system that enables materials including cardboard, plastic and fabric to easily join together to form new objects or structures. I’ve always love the possibilities of what you can make with ordinary materials - a creative way to recycle, recreate and reenjoy. No wonder they won the ‘Best of Green 2010′ design award by Treehugger.
Some playful creations made using a simple combination of pins, clips and hinges.
