The versatile kids furniture designed by Dot and Cross is something every parent or guardian will fall in love with. Not only are the designs fresh, modern and stylish, they grow as the child grows so that money is not lost when updating bedrooms, playrooms and more. Fast Co Design reports that raising a child in the United States costs about $300,000, so it is only natural people would gravitate towards versatile kids furniture.
Launched at the London Design Festival, the versatile kids furniture collection is comprised of a convertible bed that transforms from a crib to a sofa, an easel-style drawing board that rotates to become a desk and a modular bookcase that suits any needs.
