Kids’ furniture isn’t as ugly as it used to be. Long gone are the days when primary-colored plastics were the only option for style-conscious parents, polluting our living spaces and poisoning our landfills!

More modern options – many of them made from natural products just like grown-up furniture – are now available everywhere from Target to Ikea and beyond, with some serious furniture designers and producers joining in on the fun. The challenge, of course, is retaining an appealing adult aesthetic while indulging the durability and whimsy demanded by the more diminutive (albeit discerning) toddler-types.

The Kids’ Club Furniture set from Ibride France hits the proverbial nail on the head, and leaves me grinning with its originality and spunk. I’m not sure whether its clever creators were going for retro-cartoon-chic or simply trying to make a major statement in miniature, but I sure do like it.
