MUKU collection!

l

MUKU is made by two young Lithuanian artists living under the same roof, sharing the joy of raising their 2 years old daughter. Creating together, inspiring each other…These clothes are less about fashion and more about the way of living. It`s about balance between form and function with each product being designed with your child in mind. All MUKU clothes are designed and made in Lithuania!

DOVILE, HOW OLD R U?

DOVILE, fashion designer, MUKUHow is your bed? Perfect! It's a two-storey bed which I share with my older brother. My dream is to settle in on the second floor of this bed, but i sleep well on my floor as well. It's hand-made by my father. He painted it in yellow and green. Under the ladder we also have an aquarium full of fishes and a secret box where we hide all our sweets. Which kind of meal you do not like? I don't like pea puree and boiled eggs. And your favourite? I love all types of pancakes. Your favorite book to read? My favourite book is Horst Ekkert  “Panama is Very Beautiful". Most beautiful story and ilustrations. Have you got an imaginary friend? My only imaginary friend is my piano, i'm playing and talking to him.

ANDER, HOW OLD R U?

ANDER LIZASO, product designer How is your bed? I have to share my bedroom with my older brother, so mine is the little one. Still a nice simple bed with some really nice wooden parts. Which is the meal you do not like at all? I eat all kinds of food except for carrots. I tell my mom I'm not a rabbit. Your favourite meal? I love grandma's croquettes, there's nothing like them. Your favourite book? I really like the Teo collection. My favourite book would be "Teo goes to the zoo". Have you got an imaginary friend? I don't have any but a friend of mine says he does, so I'm eager to know them...

BULL!

Bull created by the industrial designer Ander Lizaso makes a perfect furniture piece for children between 3 and 6 years old. In essence it´s a tiny chair with the backrest being a "giant" spinning wheel. That allows it to be used as a basket or a trolley, and given the kid´s imaginary and Bull´s evocative shapes it may easily become a toy itself.

GREAT!

Magic pencils !

These are fantastic and unique pencils reated by Ariane Prin.

Read their story and the interesting project conceived by Ariane.

"Designers are best suited to methods of making that apply to specific and localized contexts. I believe design is about exploring the social and natural opportunities around us, taking advantage of every situation by connecting human activities with environmental principles. The “From Here For Here” project include two main issues: 1. Create useful products specific to a site from the waste generated there. 2. The legitimacy of creating new objects by keeping the enjoyment of making without the guilt. This new production system treats the Royal College of Art as an experimental site for demonstrating these principles. It uses waste from the various departments of the school for a local pencil factory that will supply drawing tools to present and future students".

ANDREA, HOW OLD R U?

ANDREA MASTROVITO, artistHow is your bed? My bed is built in a big ’70s wardrobe. Between the wardrobe and my bed there are some shelves at 30cm from the matress. I love to squeeze myself in between, to feel myself safe and cuddled during the night. I love blue sheets with white spots. When I wake up for a bad nightmare, I switch on the light and I open my Topolino: just watching the images! Which is the meal you do not like at all? I hate carrots. I had to eat kilos of carrots when I had gastroenteritis. for this reason they are crap! Your favorite meal? I love the omelette that mum prepares. I image to eat it with beans and sauces like Bud Spencer and Terence Hill in Lo chiamavano Trinità western movie. Your favourite book? I do not read because I cannot. I watch the images from Topolino and I wonder what are those black signs into the white ballons. Have you got an imaginary friend? No I haven’t. Only imaginary enemies from whom I have to fight to save the world!

My duvet cover is dark blue with stars on like the night sky. Which kind of meal you do not like? Anything with celery in, I don’t like celery!! And your favourite? I really like bananas,  and sometimes have them in a sandwich. Your favorite book to read? My favorite book is Bear goes to town: Bear has all sorts of strange adventures and is able to draw what he thinks... when running away from a baddie in a car he draws a banana skin to make the car skid! Have you got an imaginary friend? I don’t have an imaginary friend but I am friends with lots of animals in our garden, we have a beautiful pond which is home to lots of creatures. Their are big crested newts with colourful bellies and dragon fly larvae with hard spiky bodies. I love it when all the baby tadpoles grow little legs and turn into baby frogs and hop around the grass.
