Tink Things releases a strikingly modern collection of sensory furniture for kids. The brand put a lot of focus on the design of its pieces, as well as their possible uses. This level of thoughtfulness impeccably places Tink Things ahead of its competitors.
The latest additions to the sensory furniture line include the ‘Ika’ and ‘Mia’ chairs. These pieces are intended to help children “in emotional regulation, concentration, and memory skills.” The innovative approach to kid’s furniture is extended through the design. The Mia chair, for example, is said to “offer kids a ‘hug’ with deep-pressure soothing that helps boost serotonin levels and lower stress.” The Ika model, on the other hand, is more free-standing and allows children to bounce and rock around. This is said to help with concentration.
