Träd (1st Prize María Martínez Otero Furniture Design Contest) Träd is not only a storage system, Träd is a shelter, a personal space where the children carry out their fantasies and games. A place that allows them to feel safe, to learn and to imagine. That enchanted wood where one can dream of heroes and princesses...and live a thousand and one adventures. |
|
The tree as an icon of wisdom , shelter and playground. Symbol of life and growth. Approach to an increasingly absent nature, as a comeback to traditional games towards imagination development, with no artifices, as a basis for the growth of the child's personal world. |
