Toys & Games

If you're a loving cat person (such as myself) it means you spoil the little furry brat of yours with everything that comes on the market of pet toys and accessories although you know that the cute little monster will still sleep in your bed, play with a plain piece of string and scratch your entire furniture.

Nevertheless I fell in love with this Cat Cocoon designed by Warren Lieu that not only makes a modern playhouse for your pet but also an interesting piece of sculpture for the living room. The thick, durable, layered cardboard shell, great for claws sharpening, features playful holes irresistible for sticking little paws through. The multi-functional pet furniture it is at the same time a cat lounger, a scratching post, a playhouse and a fun hiding place.

Cocoon playhouse for your kitten

Matt Carr designed the ROLZ Checker Set. This interesting checker set is made from stained and lacquered solid maple and leather board with coordinated wood veneered checker pieces that rolls up in a leather carrying case for transport and storage. Matt Carr explains: "The challenge was to reinvent the way we interpret a classic flat game board”

These animal inspired wooden toys from Muji are destined as gifts for kids but are far too beautiful and well designed to give them to a child who will only break it in a minute. Wouldn't these better adorn your work desk? The range of models of endangered and extinct species highlights important ecological issues and encourages respect for animals and the environment, says there. Why, sure, I especially love the adorable little dodo.
