Handmade Heaven: Stools & Chairs

Sitting Pretty

If I could, I’d joyfully have a job setting up children’s bedrooms or play rooms. I just absolutely adore mixing and matching not only textiles but also furniture. So I’ve made sure to add these fabulous retro-coloured slot together stools and tables to my files for my next house move. Handmade in Nelson, these flat-packable stools are made in environmentally-friendly plywood and starred as the pick of the week on New Zealand craft marketplace Felt this week. Made by Mike’sdesigns, these stools and table are fun, sturdy and easily dismantled for storage and transporting.

Or I might splurge on this carton rocking chair made by Villa Carton and sold through Unique Boutique. This gorgeous throne holds kids up to 45kilos in weight and they get the joy of decorating it to match their room’s colours. Amazing!
