The product family Ombasa takes typical african animals and transforms them into play objects which serve as a playmat and as a seat. This double usage is inspired by the northern Namibia Owambo tribe, which uses animal furs for seating, resting and sleeping. The animals — an elephant, a lion, a hippo and a crocodile — are made from wood and covered with colored felt.
German design studio Julica design (Julia Kaupitwa & Carolin Malur) is inspired by the way children are playing today, designing colorful toys, furniture and spaces for them.
