A Family Home
Egmont's Mushroom Lamp, Cats Day Out by Marcello Velho, and more
Words Sam and I live by: "buy nice, not twice". The best things in a family home work for the kid and for everyone else.
Egmont Toys' Mushroom Lamp is a hand-painted nightlight with a warm 1.5W glow, calm enough to stay on the shelf long after the night-waking years. Cats Day Out by Marcello Velho is a bold cat print made with cutout techniques and digital design, real art for a room that usually gets decals. Aykasa's Midibox crate folds flat when you don't need it and stacks when you do (we have loads of these around the house in different colors for storage!). And Iris Hantverk's Shaker Peg Rail is solid birch, hung low for little coats now and earning its place at any height later.
