Desks can be extended as your child grows; desktops can be tilted for back-friendly drawing, writing or reading; and chairs offer maximum support and flexibility.

Colour and creativity are back on the agenda with the release of Petit Collage‘s latest range of stylish kids’ decor accessories and toys. Created in San Francisco by designer Lorena Siminovich, Petit Collage’s aesthetic is whimsical, artsy and modern, with a mid-century influence. We love the mixed-media approach: these delightful homewares and toys are variously made from paper, felt, wood and card (the bamboo and felt mobiles are a standout). As well as adornments for walls and ceilings there are growth charts, puzzles, blocks and memory games to keep little minds stimulated.
See the full range at Tiger Tribe, and get your hands on Petit Collage at Urban Baby and other stockists.
