One minute your baby is learning to crawl, the next minute they’re putting together furniture by themselves. At least with Interlockables they can!

In fact, like the Eameses, Belgian interior designer Anne-Sophie Rosseel (who also founded Rosseel Studio) believes that child-friendly furniture and objects should be able to exist in adult spaces and be given every bit of consideration as any other design, especially to reduce overconsumption. “I was looking for ways…
