Italian Design for Children...


At Icon Interiors, we are often asked to design children's rooms, and clients are becoming tired of the products available on the high street or mail order. The usual themes of princesses and cars tend to be a passing phase, and can't evolve with the child as he or she grows. Our challenge is to provide beautifully made furniture which has a strong design aesthetic, and which will last for many years as multi-use pieces.

The furniture designer Il Loft - http://www.illoft.com/ - produce an elegantly designed children's collection, using an artist's colour palette, ranging from muted shades to primary colours. This round bed, called Felix Baby Letto can be adapted over time as the children grow and their needs change. The Flower Baby Letto has delightful petal shapes with footstools in a range of sweetie colours.

The range also includes wardrobes and bookcases, and accessories such as rugs, occasional chairs and desks. Each piece is adorned with vibrant geometric shapes to add detail, and the website is arranged to help you choose a whole scheme.
