About
Growing Furniture takes a multi-functional approach to modern domestic living, reducing furniture consumption by adapting to children’s needs as they grow.
Meaning Desk-Table, inspired by Japanese designer Tomoko Azumi’s Table-Chest, Taku-Teburu is a three way multi-generational play, make and work-station, the first piece in the Growing Furniture series.
Initially taking the form of a standing or low level baby changing space, the table can easily be adapted for an array of different creative purposes as children age.
With additional surface options and alternative heights, the design can be adjusted to suit your child’s needs as they discover new interests.
Kneel, sit or stand as you and your child make the most of this designated space for mess and creativity!
Taku-Teburu hopes to reconnect parents and children through practical play and creativity by empowering young people to be responsible for their belongings and confident in communicating their needs through personalising their space.
