It is made for parents who are looking for kid and pet-friendly designs as the pieces are rounded and colorful. It takes on playful and safe shapes which is simultaneously visually appealing as well.
The collection is made up of chairs and tables with structures inspired by the shape of the mouth when kids say the word 'wowo.' The silhouette is hollow and is merged with the "saturation color and mellow shape" to add to the comfort that kids and pets get when they interact with the furniture. Notably, these are made with a 3D-printed technology and attached by magnets.
