Infant and toddler brand Lalo has announced a new collaboration with West Elm, delivering a collection of furniture and accessories. 50% of the proceeds from the Lalo x West Elm Kids collection will be donated to the No Kid Hungry organization until Oct 2, which aims to end child hunger in America by providing kids with healthy food for their development. The collection comprises a 3-in-1 chair, a play kit and table set, and two kits with dishware and bibs.
"We are very excited to partner with such a renowned and influential interior design brand. It was clear from the first conversation that the West Elm Kids team shared our vision for making family homes more beautiful," said Lalo’s co-founder and president, Michael Wieder. "We’re excited to marry our best selling high chair with West Elm’s iconic acorn finish to bring an elevated look to the family dinner table without sacrificing ease."
