The Play Therapy method suggests that children are capable of healing themselves, they just need the right conditions for it.

​

Alma - Therapy dolls is a series of therapeutic toys designed for children who are dealing with emotional problems.

The dolls are made from maple wood and a flexible polyurethane, and they represent the range of emotions encountered during therapy. 

The dolls are meant to facilitate a child's connection to his inner world, and to improve and heal his condition.

Oppi Toys, France

The toy comprises 3 sizes of different-coloured silicone cones and various shapes of beechwood boards. You can “Pik” and mix the different pieces to suit yourself! When the cones and boards are placed on top of each other, the silicone grips the wood. It is this grip which makes an infinite number of combinations possible.

pooh-table

for Walt Disney Japan

A table collection for Walt Disney Japan, based on Winnie the Pooh and his friends. 

To reflect the stories’ setting in the Hundred Acre Wood, the tables use natural-feel maple extensively, and come in sizes and silhouettes intended to recall the stories’  characters. 

Coloured knit cladding on different parts of the tables subtly indicates each character through their distinctive clothes, hair and tails, and suggests that the tables are like stuffed animals, too.
