Check out the fun new Tree Table Collection from artist and designer April Hannah.

Recently making its debut at BKLYN Designs, this collection instantly won accolades, including the Inhabitat Editor’s Choice Award for best Kid’s Design & Newcomer.  And why not?  After all, not only are the pieces crafted entirely from sustainable materials such as FSC certified, no added formaldehyde plywood and soy based glues, but their great graphic punch is based on that icon of green – the tree.

I love these great organic cotton bedding sets for kids and babies by Argington.

I love well thought out design solutions, especially when they are both stylish AND sustainable.

Artist and furniture designer Shawn Soh has created an enchanting place to tuck away your books and other treasures.  A part of the Design Artist collective in South Korea, Shawn was inspired by childhood memories.

Following up on the Sam Collection – a whimsical and inventive take on children’s furniture – comes Muu’s new line, the Ray Collection.  Like a slightly more sophisticated older sibling, the Ray Collection’s contrasting dark wood and white paint will fit in with both modern and transitional decor.

Along with great lines, Muu’s furniture has a major fun factor in the MuuPanel system, where you are able to easily change the graphic panel in order to customize their furniture for one, two, three or more children as you go along.
