Four Good Things
Tiptoe's Blackboard Desk, Konges Sløjd's Alphabet Abacus, and more
Everything this week is built to last, from a chalkboard desk to an indoor trapeze, and one is a real splurge: a dollhouse that's expensive, but an heirloom for generations.
Tiptoe's Vice Versa Blackboard Desk flips from chalkboard to plain white desk. Konges Sløjd's Wooden Alphabet Abacus spins from letters to little pictures. Little Forest Animals' House of Paris is a wooden Parisian townhouse, handmade and furnished down to the bedcovers, and one incredible designer is bartering design work for it. And HatiHati Studios' Tavi Trapeze is an ash wood bar on sailing ropes for swinging indoors, and kids love it.
