Project Description:
The product aims to enrich the lives of parents and children, combining their desires and needs of them both in creative and multi-functional furniture sets. LUNI is a sustainable product that can stay in the child’s room straight up to his maturity, serving him in different age stages.
LUNI consists of modular cushions and a metal frame that can be used as a table, by turning it upside down. Abstract cushion shapes encourage children to be more playful and creative.
The set contains additional stickers made of eco-leather: eyes and figures, that can be easily attached to the cushions, allowing the child to use his imagination, add a character and emotions to the modular elements.
