These can easily be cut out to make toys and there are different colour codes for different ages. Playing is a basic need for children, it helps them to cope, so in this way, the aid boxes are not wasted, but get a new life, brightening the days of the most vulnerable.
Remember that every child deserves the chance to play untroubled no matter what the circumstances are!

TOM FRENCKEN

Look at these archetypal pieces of furniture by Tom Frencken, a Dutch artist and designer who lives and works in Eindhoven. This hand-made creations look like they have been put together totally random and haphazardly: yet every angle, inch and position is deliberately chosen, so how unstable it might look, as solid and sustainable it is!
We really love this unique family of furniture that is a bit cartoonish, but always recognizable and feeling familiar!

SUPER LEKKER SUPER MOOI BY JOEL BLANCO
