& ME - Pitti 86 -Unduetrestella

Thanks to Francesca (Threelittlepigs Blog) and Paola Noè (Unduetrestella) I have been able to have a look at the news presented by the Brand &ME (see our post dated 2015) at Pitti Bimbo 86 (Florence, 18 -20 January).
I have always loved their love for handmade and their use of natural materials and timeless forms. Have a look at their new (and old, why not?) collection, you will love it for sure.
Here, my personal selection:

BABY GIM
The new &me baby gym uses similar design elements as its bigger brother the &me crib. Created as a visually appealing addition to your babys environment whilst still having actual function in tactilly and visually entertaining your little one.

BABY PUZZLE
Wood puzzle with modern archetype forms.

99 NUMBERS
This new toy is both educative and decorative. It is a way to learn counting and numbers playfully. You can count from 00 to 99. While playing with it, kids learn their numbers.
It is inspired by old-fashioned numbers from ball games.

WOOD CLOCK
A funny way of learning how to read the time on a clock.

 

SALVAPECUNIA BY ARAGO DESIGN

ARAGO DESIGN is the brand which identifies the objects designed and produced by Elisabetta Di Bucchianico e Dario Oggiano, at L'Officina delle Invenzioni (The workshop of Inventions), in Pescara, Italy. ARAGO DESIGN is the joint label of two designers who use to ask themselves many questions, feeling they have great responsabilities.
The natural consequence is a catalogue of objects endowed with multiple personality.
SalvaPecunia is a piggy bank made of glazed clay and cork.
Pecunia, which means money in Italian comes from the Latin pecus, sheep.
SalvaPecunia by Arago Design, shows the gentle animal protagonist of a thousand stories, the richness of which the sheep is historically bearer. Reborn as a piggy bank but with cultural references, it enhances its symbolic value, until it turns into a coherent symbol of positivity.

PAESAGGINI

Ci soni piaciuti moltissimo i PAESAGGINI del designer italiano Antonio Gramegna che abbiamo visto al Salone Satellite di Milano.
Sette piatti in ceramica diametro 28 cm che mirano ad avvicinare i bambini ad una corretta alimentazione attraverso il divertimento. Le sagome disegnate sui piatti sono il primo passo verso una composizione creativa che attiverà l’immaginazione del bambino. Il piccolo giocherà con i cibi e imparerà ad osservarne con più attenzione le forme i colori e le combinazioni nutrizionalmente corrette.

We like PAESAGGINI by Italian designer Antonio Gramegna.

The collection is made of 7 dishes (diam. 28cm)

The little landscapes aim to introduce children to proper nutrition through entertainment. The shapes drawn on dishes are the first step to a creative composition that will trigger the immagination of the child. The small composing of landscapes with food will teach to observe more closely the shapes and colors combinations nutritionally correct.
